Can you try downloading this and install (right click and select Run As Administrator)

http://download.windowsupdate.com/v6/windowsupdate/redist/standalone/windowsupdateagent20-x86.exe

xDD SG

ok.installed

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Can you check if your Windows Update works?

xDD SG

Nope Crying or Very sad
When i click "install"
it will alway close and reopen
back to square one

ndmmxiaomayi SG

I think we will wait for some Vista expert then, that’s the furthest I can go.

xDD SG

It's okay.
Thanks Very Happy

I think this may be off-topic, but earlier on (around Friday, I wonder how this piece of darn news took so long to reach me Mad ), MS validation servers went haywire, so it probably resulted in your PC in being detected as non-legitimate.

This would mean an inability to update all Windows software and even have features turned off.

Can you please try visiting Windows Update site again, re-validate your copy of Vista and see if Windows Update is working properly.

This applies to all XP machines as well.
