Vista Update Install Failures

I have recently installed Vista on a Toshiba Laptop. Some Windows updates
fail to install with an error 800706BA. Can anyone tell me how I delete these
failing updates so that I can get them down loaded again and attempt to
reinstall?
Thanks

Have you tried rebooting and then open WU again. Which updates fail and what error message are you getting with the failure. Can you post it here in it's entirety

Peter, I have the same problem on a friends PC. The error message is shown as
"Code 800706BF", no other information available, and a search for this code
error on MS web site comes up with no info on it. If you have any help to
offer, it would be appreciated, Thanks .

<cmd_output OS="XPsp2">
F:\>set /a c = 0x6BF
1727
F:\>net helpmsg %c%

The remote procedure call failed and did not execute.
</cmd_output>


Looks like you could have a problem with RPCSS? Is it running?

Try executing (in a cmd window)

sc queryex rpcss

What do you see?

I have the 800706BF failure (having got rid of the 800706BA failure, I
hope!). RPCSS is running.

Any ideas as to what to do now would be appreciate - and also probable cause
of this unpleasant situation.

Thanks.

To avoid confusion, please begin a new thread about your problem. Please
state your full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3; Vista SP1) when posting to
this newsgroup.
