How do you stop error 80070103 ?

If the driver you have is working correctly and the update from Microsoft
fails to install everyday. How do you stop the automatic updates from trying
to install the failing update? I have already read the microsoft bulletin
but it doesnt tell you how to rid yourself of this recurring monster.

Please state your full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3; Vista SP1) when
posting to this newsgroup.

The version is Windows Vista Premium x64 with SP1. It has worked flawlessly
until this problem. It is a printer driver that keeps trying to update, and I
beleive that I already have the latest drivers already installed according to
HP.

Close the window.

it ("Don't show me this update again").

4. Start the Automatic Updates service:
