what updates

[SOD'EM]

Windows done some auto updates months ago, but they must have been corrupted. I shut down and it says "windows is configuring updates", and every time I reboot, it says the same. They never complete properly. If I try to install new ones now, it gets nearly there and then says "couldn't configure updates, reverting back to what it was".

 

Every single time. I don't mind, but it takes ages. I tend to just put the computer to sleep now to save time on wake up.

 

 

If I remember rightly, it was when Vista service pack 2 was updated. Try to re-install it now and it tells me I already have it installed.

select option to config updates

 

each update has drop down menu, there an option dont tell me again about this update again, ticking that will stop that trying to update again

No good mate.

 

When I look at the update history, it is blank. Probably because it has been so long since I last successfully installed an update. I can check for and download updates, but it won't install them fully. This is because the system is still trying to configure updates from months ago. I may have had a virus that has corrupted a certain part of my system, but I can't remember.

if it shows on the bottom updates ready etc right click it should let you into them

I've just tried to search for updates it said Windows encountered an unknown error and cannot search for updates.

 

Also, when I try to look at previously installed updates, it says no updates have been installed on this computer.

might be worth a search on windows MS site for the problem e.g, "vista update errors" etc

another usefull util freebe startup.cpl

 

lets you decide on what runs when PC starts

 

link and a bit about it , have used it here for many years etc

 

Mike Lin's Home Page

 

No need for me to advise on the HT logs as you have everything well in hand, kip, but just wanted to let you know that some time ago I discontinued use of Mike Lin's excellent Startup CPL in favour of Mark Russinovich's Autoruns.

 

It's a lot more powerful and comprehensive than Startup CPL, and can also be run from a command line if need be.

[inspectorweb]

My suggestion. Download and install (Edit). It also has free version. AnVir shows you all startup programs and Windows processes, so you’ll find harmful file within one minute. I always use it when I clean my PC. Sorry for the offtopic
