Re: VISTA Windows Update does not work

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



I would not recommend installing SP1 manually until and unless it's offered by Windows Update.

Unlimited installation and compatibility support for Vista SP1 is available at no charge through 18 Mar-09

I have just reinstalled Vista after having some problems. After many attemps
at updating to SP1, I manually installed the stand alone 5 language version
prior to any other updates. All went well. Now, when I go to Start: Windows
Update, A window opens, but nothiing happens. The window stays blank and the
cursor in the window twirls forever. I have tried turning off the firewall
with no success. Problem is on a Compaq laptop.
