On July 10th, windows started updating (4 updates) only 1 was successful;
then a small screen popped up saying "Windows Modules Installer stopped
working and was closed" "A problem caused the application to stop working
correctly. Windows will notify you if a solution is available"... I have a
Gateway Laptop using Vista... First time having this problem; it tries to
update all day long with the same problem... It tries to solve it to no
avail... Any help would be greatly appreciated ~ I'm totally loss in the
computer world.... Thanks,
