Vista Update Wont Download

[DarkestDream]

Hello everyone, i been trying to get Vista Home Premium to download the window updates, but it just stuck at 0%, 0 KB. I been searching Google for information why it not downloading anything. One of the forum said it related to error problem and preform a error-checking maintance and i already did that and it still not downloading anything.

I have Fujitsu Lifebook A Series with Vista Home Premium (not sure if i have SP1 installed, already check the System information, it just said Vista Home Premium). Already check for virus and spyware. a clean bill of health.

Check your services.

Go to start

Run

type services.msc

Are both Automatic Updates

and Background Intelligent Transfer Service running?

If so try restarting them both and redownloading your update.

enable the windows installer service from the services.

try to update the windows with the latest updates which are compatible with the vista.

if needed download the service pack of the vista from the internet.

Great, it work great. i updated the window that need. So i was about to update the laptop to SP1, it was in the process of downloading until 8% and it stopped and give me a result of error, 80070001 i believe. So i went to MSKB to check it out and it asked me to clear out the Window Update cache, so i did and went to download Sp1, the same result, it stopped at 8% then give me a error again.

enable the windows installer service from the services.

update the windows firewall.

after that try to update the windows with the service pack 1.

download the service pack which are compatible with your windows.

it will take some time, time depends on your computer.
