RE: Windows updates not updating

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry



I have exactly the same problem on a DELL Dimension 5521 with preinstalled
Windows Vista Home Premium. When the error message about the failed update
comes up it gives the error code 80070020. Hope anybody can help!
