Windows Update fails continually after February 9 release of updates being installed

I read a ridiculous amount of discussion regarding the 9 February/10 updates to update Windows causing errors, but I have not found a solution to my problem yet. I have Vista 32 bit home Premium SP2. Dell XPS M1330. Core2Duo 2.4 GHz. 4 GB OF RAM.
I'm not new to pc errors, especially dealing with Windows Update, but still, I got error Code 80070005. After installing the infamous February 9 updates, Windows Update indicates an error continually and says he cannot get update. Several times I restored my computer back a few days before these updates in question, and all is well. I let it sit for a few days hoping Microsoft would remove updates, and I've even noticed that the update reading 'pending' - which, after reading several threads told to leave this update turned off that it was probably the update of 'problem '. Well regardless, I installed the rest updates, with the exception of this one, and I still get the same error again. I don't understand why Windows just will not remove 'defective' updates if they are constantly problems. In the meantime, does anyone know a fix for this problem. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I think this may be our answer, I'm having the same problem. Good luckhttp://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2006/09/04/739820.aspx

  • Stop windows update to install Nvidia driver version 52.16

    Hello

    Recently, I upgraded the PC of my father to WinXP SP3. It is an old DELL Dimension of 11 years. After installation there is a nagging question that won't stop.

    Windows Update keeps trying to install the following:

    MICROSOFT VIDEO NVIDIA GEFORCE 4 MX 420

    NVIDIA driver version 52.16

    This update is not necessary for the monitor to run.

    So far, my difficulty was to start in safe mode and back the driver.

    Windows Update repeatedly installed this driver. I have

    detailed instructions on how to block this specific update to settle here.

    Thank you

    To hide an update in Windows XP, just go to the Windows Update site and uncheck the update and click on the + sign next to it. At the bottom of the explanation expanded the update the checkbox to hide this update become active and can be selected, thus masking the update.

    Then, you need to remove the update from the temporary folder:

    Stop the automatic updates service

    Click Start, choose run.
    In the run box, type services.msc.
    Click OK.
    Right-click the automatic updates service.
    Click on stop.
    Stopping the service will take a moment.

    Delete the content of the download folder
    Click Start. Choose run.
    In the run box, type %windir%\SoftwareDistribution
    Click OK.
    Open the download folder.
    Delete all the contents of the download folder.
    Close the window.

    Start the automatic updates service
    Click Start. Choose run.
    In the run box, type services.msc.
    Click OK.
    Right-click the automatic updates service.
    Click Start.
    Starting the service will take a moment.

    By removing the contents of the download folder - you have removed all downloaded
    updates.

    Now, the next step would be to configure Windows Update in order to warn only rather than automatically download and install updates. In this way, you stay in control.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/306525

    Click Start, click run, type sysdm.cpl, and then press ENTER.

    Click the automatic updates tab, and then click to select an Notify me but don't automatically download or install

    I hope this helps.

  • How to control the Windows updates are installed on the Windows Surface of RT

    I recently had to perform a refresh to solve the problem with desktop on the desktop icons that appear as spaces. After the update, I had to reinstall the update for Office 2013. When I went to Windows Update to do this, I found it with a group of 9 other updates, these 9 were all marked as ready for download and installation, Office 2013 update is not checked. I disabled the office 2013 update and not the other 9 updates, thinking that I could make those after I had Office installed upgrading so I would like to know if my taskbar icon problem has been resolved. At the bottom of the screen even when the Office update was the only update checked I chose to install updates. The Surface actually installed all updates, not only the update of Office.

    Is there a way to control which Windows updates are installed in fact at some point? Unchecking them made no difference.

    Do you have other accounts of users on this PC?  If you install this update from the main account?

    You should get the number of the update of the updated history list and then download the file here: Microsoft downloads.
    If sure that nothing else is running, and then install the update manually.  Give it a try and let us know the results.
