Windows Update 7.0.6000.381

New version of update fails to install and doesn not allow me to download any
other updates unless I go for them by searching.
Running Win Vista Home Pre 32 bit. Ive cleared out all the Software Distro
and data cab files stoped and restarted WU in services and still no luck.
Can't find an info on the error code I get 800F081F

I have done everything I have found about WU
Could really use some help,

Thanks

Well, low and behold I found the answer to my problem, I hope this helps
anyone else who has this issue.

Digging around I found in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932494/en-us
the link to downloaded the WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exepackagenow file and
clicked and downloaded the file and it fixed WU.

After I rebooted I opened update back and it searched for downloads
(finally) and came up with 6 of them. I looked through the list before I
installed anything and unchecked and hid the update to Windows Update. I am
running on a full tank again.

Thanks to all those in the list because you all were very helpful!!!

>> I have done everything I have found about WU

Apparently you hadn't done everything or at least you hadn't found
everything yet.
