Reinstalling failed windows Vista updates !!??

How can I reinstall my failed windows Vista updates ?
I'm using the original copy of windows and the problem was my RAM because I
had 4 GB of RAm and some updates couldn't install and now I change my RAM to
2 GB so I want to reinstall the failed updates ?
Regards

I don't see why reducing the amount of RAM would help at all, but ... just use
Windows Update and let it figure out which updates you need.

How did you come up with reducing the amount of functional memory as a
solution to failing updates?

I don't understand why people post if the don't have the answer - keep your
little comments to yourself. I too am having the same problem. I have a whole
bunch of failed updates - 29 of them to be exact - and want to know how to
update them again.

Sometimes it helps to see where the user has been and done to figure out
what the problem is.

I assume you too have Windows Vista? You didn't say. You might have
Windows XP, you may not. If you do have Windows XP - you might have SP1a,
SP2 or SP3... or none. You may have Windows Vista SP1, you may not.

I assume you have looked for solutions and provided further information to
the proper channels? Such as Operating System, Service Pack, exact error
given when you try to update, what things you have/have not tried, etc...

If you don't want help - that's fine too. Don't provide further information
and then those who could help you will be unable to. However - by not
posting specific information to your own problem, you demonstrated your own
comment.

AntiVirus you utilize? Is it active when installing updates?
AntiSpyware you utilize?
Last date you successfully got updates?

Here's some general help for you... Or at least information on how to get
further assistance with whatever issues your specific computer is having
with the Windows updates..

<Start copy from PA Bear>
Start a free Windows Update support incident request:
https://support.microsoft.com/oas/de...spx?gprid=6527

For home users, no-charge support is available by calling 1-866-PCSAFETY in
the United States and in Canada or by contacting your local Microsoft
subsidiary. There is no-charge for support calls that are associated with
security updates.

For more information about how to contact your local Microsoft subsidiary
for security update support issues, visit the International Support Web
site: http://support.microsoft.com/common/international.aspx

Assuming you do have a version of Vista...
<Start copy from Taurarian>
Open Windows Update and review your history.

Locate the update/s that have failed to install (you can view further
information about the failed update/s by double-clicking the update )

If the information reveals 800f0826 move onto the next one until you get the
update that displays a different error code to 800f0826.

Once you have located the update that has failed and caused the problem,
then that needs to be fixed before you can install the other updates.

You've quoted the answer - use Windows Update.

> keep your little comments to yourself.

I see. Sorry, but if it's all the same to you I think I'll continue letting
people know when they have done something which was probably a mistake.

As I've already said ... use Windows Update.
