Windows Update doesn't work (error code C0150004)

Greetings,

Yesterday I did a system restore on my computer to its factory settings, and now everytime I try to run Windows Update that I will meet a wall, in which every attempt to use Windows Update is filled with the message "Windows could not search for new updates" with an error code of C0150004.  I tried to manually install updates (SP1, for example), but the installer module keeps hanging and/or crashing on me.  I don't know what my options are at this point, except again once restore my computer to factory settings and hoping for the best (no restore points were created, so that the idea of dating as well).  Any help that could be provided would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

  • Windows Update encountered an unknown error code 6b 7.

    What is said for the most part.  I am running Vista Home Premium x 64 on a machine rather top of range (Q9550 processor, 16 GB DDR2-800 RAM, fast hard drives 1.5 TB each, etc.) -specs factory, not overclocking, or something like that.  When I try to install the updates, Windows meets an 'unknown error' (Code 6B 7).  It usually happens when he tried to update .NET - and that's why I can't use Windows Live Messenger or all the other Windows Live programs, in addition to a lot of third party programs.

    I am really lost and don't know what to do.  I asked before and told to uninstall and reinstall all the old versions of the .NET, but also warned that the process was dangerous and could cause trouble.

    Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.  If you need more information, please ask and I will answer as best as possible.
