windows update fails (again...)

[king moeha]

uhh, I'm having a little problem with my windows update (vista)

It downloaded service pack 2 for my office 2007 installation but after downloading it gave an error (code 57A).

I've tried everything, and each time I end up in screwing op my pc

Hurray to system restore!

Any ideas how to fix this?

What security software do you have? Are you behind a proxy? Do you have a router and/or hardware firewall? Is it Windows Update that fails, or automatic updates?

There could possibly be a registry fix in either of these links:

Googling brings up a lot of folk having the same problem. No consolation, but you're not alone, which means there's probably a fix out there somewhere.

 

The first link looks promising.

 

Hope this helps, but if not post back, as there may be suggestions from the other guys.

Also a link here, last post says he managed to solve it.

Same here, another guy claims to have 'solved' it

I tried most of those 'solutions' but none of them worked (except for the one where you have to reset your registry, but that one messed up my pc )

So I just re-installed windows, there were a lot of anoying errors and this one was the drop that did it...

problem solved! (my system works even better then before)

thanks anyway and sorry to disturb you
