I've got the same !
I found nothing
I try to update Windows Vista via Windows Update and I got this error...
I don't use WSUS, I'll try...

Am I updating via WSUS?
No. The computer is inside a Network, but it doesn't update via WSUS.

More details on how all this came up:
Recently (Sep/05), the antivirus Trend Micro Internet Security 2008
said that it had found a trojan [TROJ_Generic.ADV] in my laptop
[Toshiba Satellite Pro] and that, in order to completely eliminate it,
it had to restart. It's then when all the crashes came over. I could
only start Windows under secure mode. I run trend Micro IS-2008
in the MS-DOS prompt and made a good cleaning, I guess... After this,
reading some forums, I learned that Trend Micro made a mistake,
and what thought was a trojan, in fact, it wasn't. But the cleaning was
done! and with it many registries were gone. That's why in my first
message I asked whether all this mess has to do with some
missing registries.

Thanks for trying to help me out!

When all else fails, HijackThis v2.0.2
(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.exe) is the preferred tool to use (in
conjuction with some other utilities). HijackThis will NOT fix anything on
its own, but it will help you to both identify and remove any
hijackware/spyware with assistance from an expert. **Post your log to
http://aumha.net/viewforum.php?f=30,
http://forums.spybot.info/forumdisplay.php?f=22,
http://spywarehammer.com/simplemachi...php?board=10.0, or other
appropriate forums for review by an expert in such matters, not here.**

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA or Geek Squad) computer repair shop.
