Okay - but you are going to have to share some information.

You barely shared you had Windows Vista (at the very end - and not even in
reference to "this is my problem, this is what I have, this is what I have
tried, this is what happens..." - but as an aside. Remember - only you can
see your computer when you are posting on these newsgroups. Those
volunteering their free time/knowledge to help do not know you or your
system nor can they see through your eyes nor read your mind. ;-)

So - along those lines - help the people here help you...

- What is the Make/Model of this computer?
- When did you get the computer?
- What version of Windows Vista do you have? (Does it have SP1?) ('winver'
command)
- What have you tried (step-by-step explanation) to do to remedy your issue?
- What type of Internet connection do you have?
- If you receive some error - what error is it?
- Does your "c:\windows\windowsupdate.log" file contain any information near
the bottom that might help (no more than the last 50 lines or so after you
manually attemot to get updates should be copy/pasted anywhere...)?

So your settings were checked using this?

Sorry, I have a Fujitsu Lifebook that came with Windows Vista. I set up the
Windows update to check everyday at 9am. The error always says can't check
for updates. Included is 26 results for WindowsUpdate_80070490
WindowsUpdate_dt000 such as:
Windows Update error 8024402C
2. 2 Windows Update error 800f020b
3. 3 Troubleshoot problems with installing updates
4. 4 Windows Update error 80070002
5. 5 Windows Update error 80070003
6. 6 Windows Update error 80070643
7. 7 Windows Update error 80072efd
8. 8 Windows Update error 80072f8f
9. 9 Windows Update error 80070103
10. 10 Windows Update error 80072ee2
11. 11 Windows Update error 8024001

I have checked to see if my Firewall or anti-virus might have been blocking
the site and they are fine to allow Windows Update. Hope this helps a bit
