Hi Rboater581,

Welcome to Windows Vista answers Forums!

You will need to maybe reset the Windows Update components, download the Microsoft fix - it from the link and run the wizard that automatically resets the windows update components, if it does not, I recommend that reset you manually update windows components from the link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058

These steps should solve the problem, give it a try and check if you are able to perform windows updates.

Hope this information is useful.

    You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
    2. click on the System Restore tab.
    3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
    4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
    5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

    You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

    Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

    -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.

    -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
    -Click OK.

    I understand that you can not install the update of security Culmutive for IE9 on windows vista computer.
     
    We're here to help and guide you in the right direction.
     
    1. What is the exact number / correct?
    2 what specific updates, or all updates problem?
    3. you receive an error message/code?

     
    Try these methods.
     
    Method 1
    Run the fix of the article.
    The problem with Microsoft Windows Update is not working
    http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/windows_update/
     
     
    Method 2
    Try to install the update in a clean boot state.
    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135
    Note: After a repair, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 3 in the Knowledge Base article.
     
     
    Method 3
    The problem can also be caused by your security such as anti-virus program that can have conflicting parameters as to not not to perform certain tasks. I suggest you temporary disable the anti-virus and check the result again. You must activate new security that you was disabled programs.
    Disable the antivirus software:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software
    Once we install the updates, please turn on the firewall.
    Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
     
     
    Method 4
    You can also manually install updates (KB number) by downloading from the Microsoft Download Center.
    http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx
     
    Run an antivirus with Microsoft Safety scanner scan and check if the problem resolves.

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

    Important: When performing analysis on the hard drive if bad sectors are found on the hard drive when parsing tent repair this sector if all available on which data can be lost.
    You can also download & run Microsoft Security Essentials on your computer.

    I got IE9 installed for about 2 years, but the last kb2829530 of security update installs not and gives error 80070057.

    I can't find any information on the internet on this subject.

    I tried many general suggestions on mistakes of update Windows such as disabling services like Windows update and WICKS, cleaning of their files and then turn power on. Nothing seemed to work.

    I tried to uninstall IE9 completely but the uninstall fails with "unknown error."

    Someone at - it suggestions of andy?

    Ok...

    Your reference to an "install IE9 update' was quite opaque & open to interpretation for me.

    [If you couldn't uninstall IE9 still IE9 has been suddenly offered by Windows Update again, a ' wipe ' reload n ' was the best course of action IMHO.]
