Re: Error 80070424, Vista Ultimate x-64 after installing SP2

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Yes, seems to be a tough one.

But, I ran all scans (also the windows "deep" scan, as suggested on this
forum) and I never work without my virus scanner running and
auto-updating...nothing found!

Apart from this little issue, everything seems to work fine...If it was
hijacked some way, I would assume I'd see/experience more problems?

Anyway, if it's not "lethal" to my system, I can just keep on downloading
manually...must say I'm also here a bit concerned because I checked the
download site and my system replied I needed no new downloads at all, even
since half July....

Mmm....

Also: once the Windows 7 hectics are over: was planning to upgrade to 7
Ultimate 64 bits anyway....maybe the disease is over then (or maybe it
totally collapses)....

Need to be practical: no need to panic until there is a reason to panic.
Make regular backups of my data anyway.

Thanks for the help so far...

Tried the other options as well in the Windows Update menu (and then
reboot), but with no success.


Mowgreen: BITS and Windows Update were both on Auto(delayed start) in
services; I changed Bits to manual, but with no success: still the same
80070424 after reboot

Can you enable & start Automatic Updates, reboot, and then find it still
