Multiple updates not installing

I am running Windows Vista (came installed on my laptop). I never had a
problem running updates until March. The last successful install was 3/6/08.
Since that time the system has downloaded 22 updates but won't install any
of them. When I go through the error code it gives me, the fix won't happen.
It tells me to Start the BITS, and the BITS won't start. It begins and then
I get an error stating "BITS service on local computer started and then
stopped. Some servises stop automatically if not in use by other services or
programs."

What error is it giving you?

You might want to try my tool:
www.codeplex.com/aureset

Let me know if that helps or not.

Excellent tool. Used it on 2 of my clients systems that had numerous issues with WU and it fixed the issues. Only thing that I was surprised at is that the code run a bit long. But it worked. Great job

[In a new thread, OP states that the aureset tool did not resolve the
problem.]

At a command prompt run the following:

REGSVR32 QMGR.DLL
REGSVR32 QMRPRXY.DLL
REGSVR32 WUAUENG.DLL
REGSVR32 WUAUENG1.DLL
REGSVR32 ATL.DLL
REGSVR32 WUCLTUI.DLL
REGSVR32 WUPS.DLL
REGSVR32 WUPS2.DLL
REGSVR32 WUWEB.DLL

Then see if you can start the service.
If not, try rinstalling BITS from:

You are all waaaaay toooo smart for me. Half the things you are saying for
me to do lose me before I get through the first suggestion. Is there a way
to "dumb it down" for us non computer guru types. I would love to try just
about everything before I unload a lot of cash on what would have been a
simple fix.

sorry about starting a new "thread" as I said above, I'm not the computer
genius.

Sorry about that. All you need to do is go to the start menu and choose run.
type cmd.exe (hit enter)
When the command promt comes up, you can then type all of the commands I
listed one at a time (you should get a pop-up after each confirming that it
did something.

I do have a tool that automates this stuff, but there is somr red tape on
my end right now that prevents it from being available at the moment.
