Windows error 80070490

I constantly get a message that Windows cannot update.

I get the Error Message 80070490.

I have done repairs registry and system scans, but that's not enough. I tried the suggestions of resolution on the Microsoft Web site, but still no results. The Microsoft Web site suggests also reload the Windows DVD.  Unfortunately I can't find my DVD.

I would be grateful for any suggestion or help to solve this problem. Thank you very much.

  • Cannot install updates for WIndows - error 80070490 and installation disc?

    original title: error 80070490 and installation disc?

    Dell, Vista, x 64 laptop.

    I can not install updates, including Service Pack 2 and IE 8. I managed to fix the other error messages, but this one is a winner.

    I can't follow the steps here because I don't have an installation DVD. The laptop doesn't have a CD/DVD-ROM internal drive and did not come with a disc because everything was preinstalled. Even if I had a disc, my computer does not recognize the CD/DVD-ROM external drive when it is plugged in (a problem at a time!), so it would always help. "The System Update tool does not work on this machine, probably because of that pesky little" compatible operating systems: Windows Vista Service Pack 2 "requirement. I so need SP2 to download the tool which will allow my computer to install SP2? Nice little catch-22 there. I agree with the irony. I disagree with not being able to install updates at all, ever.

    Is it possible to re - install without a disk? Can I solve this problem at all or I'll have to take the laptop to Best Buy and ask them to do some voodoo Geek Squad to it?

    Hello

    Check if your computer has a recovery partition.
    If the computer has a recovery partition, use the recovery partition to restore the computer to factory settings.
    Note:   All programs and data will be lost.  You can make a backup of all important data and reinstall programs.

    You can also contact the manufacturer of your computer, and asking for a disc.

  • Windows Update error 80070490 - persists

    I have Windows Vista Ultimate and I get error 80070490 when you try to make updates.

    I tried to reinstall the program with the DVD to repair damaged files, but my DVD has SP1 while the computer already has SP2, so it will not upgrade the DVD. The only option is to 'clean up' the installation or an upgrade higher.

    Any suggestions?

    I also have the DVD to upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate. It doesn't matter if I'm updating 2 updates to security in Vista before moving on to Windows 7? The new installation of Windows 7 take care of damaged in Vista files?
