Windows Update on Vista stalls download at 33%
As the title says!
I am running Vista Home Premium and Windows Update stops at 33% when downloading updates and goes no further. Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thank you!
Edit: More info. I use Windows Firewall and that you have not disabled the default settings.
McAfee is come with the PC but uninstalled the end of the free trial period - it was almost a year
You should have uninstalled the McAfee AND THEN downloaded app / run the McAfee Consumer products removal tool before installing Microsoft Security Essentials (or any other anti-virus application) and you should have done BEFORE the free trial period had expired.

Corrupted Windows Update? (Vista)
Hello
I have problems with Windows Update on a Vista laptop. When I try to open the program, all I get is a blank window with nothing to click on. No text, no button.
I know that some time ago, I created WU to do updates automatically, but I want to regain control of the update process, as WU tries to install the updates on a daily basis and fails. It takes me 15 minutes every day after the restart before I can use my laptop.
Can anyone help?
System Restore does not allow that the problem is older than the last restore point. I also tried to use my backup CD that I thought maybe I could reinstall Vista, but the laptop won't even use it for some reason any. I tried to reinstall WU from the site Web de Microsoft, but after doing so the problem was still there. I don't really know what to do!
Thanks if you have answers.

Windows updates could not be downloaded or installed
The last date on which Windows updates have been installed correctly on my PC has been on 12 August. Since that date something prevents me to install new updates. Whenever I click on the "Install updates" button on the box "Download and install new updates on my computer" for Windows Update tent to start downloading (the green progress bar appears for a second or two), but then my PC back to the "yellow shield with the message box"download and install the new update on my computer". At first I thought it was just busy at Microsoft, so I waited until a 'downtime' to try again. Same no result... no download. Several updates again 'important' security, but also the other "Recommended" updates are waiting for download and install, but I can't understand how prevents download of launch. I ran my anti-virus several times more than my 2 x a week all the scan in the hope that there is some sort of bug that prevented my access to Windows Update, but no luck. I also read a lot of Forums to see if there are other users having this problem of sam and have not seen any other comments.
There is another bug that I have yet to understand that everything began to happen within the last week and there may be a link between the inside and the problem I am having with Windows Update. I have a dialog box that is displayed on my screen for less than one second every 10 seconds or more. I have read this program is located on the area and it's "C:\\Windows\system32\wuauclt\exe", but sometimes, the dialog box that appears is 'C:\\Windows\system32\SndVol\exe' and in the box itself, it says "program too big to fit in memory".
I have a Dell XPS M1530 and Windows Vista with Service Pack 2 installed. 32-bit Intel Core II Duo CPU T8100 @ 2.10 GHz and 4.00 GB RAM
Any Suggestions on how to fix any of these issues?
Hello DAN to GO.
Try to start your system in safe mode:
- Restart your computer if it is running.
- Press and hold the F8 key for 3 seconds after your computer powers initially on.
- Once you see the menu Advanced Boot Options, you can stop tapping.
- Up/down arrow keys to highlight your selection.
- Select Mode safe mode with networking and press ENTER.
- You should see drivers loading, it may take a few moments.
- You should then be at the Welcome screen.
- Connect to your computer using an account with administrator privileges.
- Now, you download (free) MalwareBytes from here: http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html?tag=mncol install, Update then do a scan of your system in safe mode, to ensure that it is indeed clean! Once the scan done remove anything it finds. Simply restart your PC to see if your problem has been resolved!
To resolve this problem, use the tool (SFC.exe) System File Checker to determine which file is causing the problem, then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:
- Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally made programs, Accessories, right-click guest, and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.
- Type the following command and press ENTER: sfc/scannow (Yes there is a space after sfc) the sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.
Hope this helps you. Let us know anyway. Make it a great day!

I tried with windows update and manually to download vista service pack 2, but these two don't
I tried with windows update and manually download vistal SP2 but fails both: the process takes time and when download reaches 100% there is a message that says that the file is corrupted in the disk, I tried to check readers for bad mistakes, too, but the same problem persists.
It may be a corrupted catalog file. However, it can also be a corrupted system file. In the latter case, the System File Checker may be able to fix it. Click Start, type "cmd" in the search/Run box and right-click on the CMD icon at the top of the results pane. Select run as administrator. When the cmd window type "sfc/scannow" at the prompt and press ENTER. When the scan is finished, close the cmd window. Alternatively, you can try to install clean or safe mode boot mode. See
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/331796
The procedure should work the same for Windows 7 and Vista.
Enter the Mode safe mode by starting the cold computer and pressing the key function F8 repeatedly as soon as the manufacturer splash screen appears.

Then when the updates of August were available I chose all security updates and install optional updates that have already downloaded click on the button and nothing happened, it remained only on 0%. My question is, is there an update that was given earlier that caused these updates not installed? I really want to use my new computer, but I don't like to run without new security and the latest updates. I had trouble before what do.
I used all the security software listed above on all my computers for about 5 to 10 years and non of them are set to prevent windows update from working.

Windows Update for Vista (KB2286198) _
Everything from the lates Windows Update has been installeded for Vista (KB2286198)
I was not able to use my card to air with the Cradlepoint router. The computer can see the router but only connect with local and non-local and internet access. If I plug the modem from Verizon in the computer USB it will not work. I have uninstall-ed the update and it works again with the Cradlepoint wireless modem. Then, the update automatically installs again and I have the same problem. What can I do to fix this?
First, uninstall again and then search for updates and it should appear. Right-click on it to hide, and it will not be downloaded or installed or appear again (but you can still get in case of need if she and him to download and install-, but I wouldn't do that). You will need to put it to manual and not automatic selection to do this. So, try the following:
Try to download and install manually by download on your desktop and install them one by one. Insert the number of KB to get updates on the right and choose the one corresponding to your version of Vista: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx.
If this does not work, try a boot minimum http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135 and disable your security software. See if the installation works. However, once don't forget to put Vista in normal status, as described in the procedures. If that does not work, uninstall it again.
Also read and execute the steps ofhttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058.
If this does not help, please transfer your question in Forum Windows Update:http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistawu/threads where updates experts will be happy to help you. Please post with the information requested here:what to post in the Windows Update forum

What application or antivirus security suite is installed and your current subscription? What anti-spyware (other than Defender) applications? What third-party firewall (if applicable)?
A (another) Norton or McAfee application has already been installed on the computer (for example, a free trial version which is preinstalled when you bought it)?
