I've an activated version of Vista. Updates went smoothly until the end of Aug
Since then it has 2 updates which it repeatedly tries to install but fails.

Tools, update does not attempt to find more recent updates and just returns
the error code above.

Any ideas?
I have a second Vista Home premium machine and this is fully Updated by
Windows update.

I can only find this error code referred to in Windows server 2003

I don't mean to bounce you around, but you will likely get a quicker answer
to your question if you post this in the Windows Update group. Here is a
link to that group.

Thanks for responding I've taken the plunge and reinstalled Windows as my PC
was regularly crashing after sleep mode.

However, I'm not impressed with Vista error codes which Microsoft does not
document on the Web.
