Already have Vista SP1, still get code 8007010B and code 643

I upgraded to SP1 when windows prompted me to months ago. In august, I
started getting some prompts from Windows update to install more updates. But
almost all have failed since. Now I have 25 updates that will not install.
When i boot in safe mode with networking, windows update will not even
launch.

I am using an HP Pavillion DV 6000 model series.

Hello Matt,

See if running this tool resolves the error:

AU Check (v78a)
<http://www.codeplex.com/aureset/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=17263>

Download and *save* it. After the download completes close all open
programs and browsers.

*** Temporarily disable the installed antivirus/security
suite/anti-malware/3rd party softwares. This includes all services nd
processes associated with them. Either consult the User Guide or the
manufacturer's web site to learn how this is accomplished.
You can use the following steps to Clean Boot Vista if the above task is
too complicated: How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean
boot in Windows Vista
<http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135>

*Enable* the native Vista firewall as the system must be connected to
the net when the tool runs so that it can downloaded needed updating
software components. ***

Now run au_check_v78a_codeplex.exe by *right* clicking it and choosing
'Run as administrator'. Allow it time to complete it's operation.
Restart the computer afterwards.

See if the system can update now.


This will give you a starting point for your troubleshooting anyway.

Please let us know if the problem remains

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your
subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)?
What third-party firewall (if any)? Were any of these applications running
in the background when you installed Vista SP1?

Has a Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on the machine?

I am having the same problem as Matt, and i tried clicking at the website you
provided but it doesn't do anything. I don't know what else to do. I'm not
sure whether i have Vista SP1, but the updates haven't been installing and I
already have about 20 of them.
