Error code 8000FFF in relation to Microsoft Windows Updates

I have used Vista Home Premium since I purchased my desktop, in the last few
months I keep getting this damned error code when I try to download my
security updates, this is really annoying and I am not getting any help from
Microsoft via their support or their help pages.

I am told this is a problem Micrsoft is aware of but not able to help with,
I can't see how it's their code and their software, any help would be
appreciated as I haven't been able to update for months now.

If I receive an attack I will hold Microsoft liable for any damage to my
computer as they are not addressing this problem.

Hello Calders,

See if this helps.

You receive error code 8000FFFF when you click "Check for Updates" in the
Windows Update Control Panel item on a Windows Vista-based computer


Good luck

Engel, you are a genius my friend, many thanks, your suggestion worked
perfectly, I have been trying to sort this problem out for five months
without success from many different sources including Microsoft. You are the
only person who has helped me successfully.
