Windows updates failing in Vista

Several updates have failed since 8/27 while trying to install update
7.0.6000.381. I keep getting the error code 800F081F. I attempted the fix
discussed in the following article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932494/en-us and
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927891/.

I installed the x86 WUA 3.0, and no changes. I cannot immediately see which
of the 927891 Hotfixes would apply for Vista 32-bit and thus did not install
any of those hot fixes.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

I have the same problem. I follow all the steps and ... nothing. Running the
same version on Vista Home Ultimate

Why did you choose those articles?
(No reference to that code or its decimal equivalent(s) in either of them?)

Did you try downloading and installing a problem update manually?
With verbose logging? What is the context of the error code then?

BTW if you are experiencing problems with an update independent
of its delivery you may find more informed help in a newsgroup
which specializes in the product being updated (whatever that is.)

I have the same problem. I keep getting error code 800F081F. And nothing I
can do will get vista to update. I just realized it hasn't been updating for
a couple of months. I tried the fixes but they did absolutely nothing.

Is MS working on a fix for this. And since you can do an update from a
webpage like XP I can't update anything. I have no idea how many updates I'm
behind. And I did a fresh install of Vista ultimate 3 months ago. I have no
desire to do it again. This is very annoying. I tried a dozen different
things and no luck. I get the same error no matter what I try.

If you do get a recovery mechanism please let me know. I've attempted manual
download and installation of the update and that also seems to fail.
