It keeps saying failed to install error code 490. Also OX80070490. I have
tried closing out all security but still won't install. I have downloaded and
ran service pack 2 installer. Thanks for any help.

You receive a "0x80070490" error code when you use Windows Update or
Microsoft Update Web sites to install updates
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/958044

Free unlimited installation and compatibility support is available for
Windows Vista, but only for Service Pack 2 (SP2). This support, originally
scheduled to end 26 November 2009, has been extended until 26 February 2010.
Availability of chat or e-mail support differs depending on your geographic
location. Some issues may require more advanced support for which there is a
charge. Go to
http://support.microsoft.com/oas/def...4&gprid=582034 &
select appropriate category (i.e., Download issue; Installation issue;
Issues after you install a service pack).
