Windows Vista updates Failed to install

Hi, i am having trouble installing any updates that come up for Windos vista,
I click install and then after they install and my computer restarts it says
they all failed and none got installed. when i look at the details of why it
failed it keeps coming up with
Error details: Code 800703F8 its the same error code every time. Please
help.

thanks!

I checked the Help link. There, it listed a number of URLs that had to be
added to IE's Trusted Zone. That worked for me.

Sorry. I'm no longer getting the error, so I don't have the link. See
posts by TaurArian in this NG.

From one of Taur Arian's posts, "On the WU Website, select your history of
updates - now click on failed update (red mark)
and see if there is an error code.
If there is an error code, write it down and post back or in the
alternative, do a search for the error code."

You may have registry corruption...

<cmd_output OS="XPsp2">
F:\>set /a c =0x3f8
1016
F:\>net helpmsg %c%

An I/O operation initiated by the registry failed unrecoverably. The registry could not read in,
or write out, or flush, one of the files that contain the system's image of the registry.
</cmd_output>

Does Vista show the same response to net helpmsg 1016
(in a cmd window)?

ProcMon may give you more clues.


Good luck
