windows modules installation has stopped working

yesterday windows prompted me to install updates. it downloaded, installed
and asked me to restart my pc. i was going to bed so i manually shut down.
today when i started my pc after the bios load it went to a blank screen
with a flashing curser. i restarted. this time it advised me my boot disk was
corrupted and did a scan. i restarted. windows booted up but stopped at the
welcome page. a pop up advised me that in order to restart windows i should
insert my windows disk to reinstall as my copy was invalid (it's not). i did
so, the disk whirred but nothing happened. i rebooted.

now it was possible to enter windows safe mode and run system restore (too
before i installed my windows updates).

windows is now back to normal.

it keeps prompting me to update.
i tried updating the 4 latest patches (explorer 7 security patch,various
security patchs) but now it freezes while installing and a window pops up
telling me
"windows modules installation has stopped working".

when i click on "check online for a solution" nothing happens
windows updates is now frozen, i can't stop the installation and it will
only go away when i restart the computer. i have checked the windows moduler
installation setting in admin and it's set on manual. it does this everytime
i try to update my windows
vista (32 bit).

the last time i system restored it allowed me to install the windows
malicious software tool october update. now it's back to freezing after
downloading the update in the middle of installing.
any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

can anybody help?

I'm having this same problem, please if anybody knows of a solution post it!!
I'm begging!

I'm having this same problem as well. Windows support has been VERY
unhelpful, and if this conflicts with SP1, I will be ditching Vista right
away.

now my computer will not update my mcafee or install adobe flash. i'm
thinking about wiping the hard drive and reinstalling windows but i read
another post that was said it was a problem with the "build". i would really
hate to reinstall to end up with the same problem if it's a bug in the
software i was provided.
please note i have also tried shutting down my antivirus/firewall programs
to see if it would help but it doesn't.
any helpful feedback with what is becoming a common problem?
