I am using a HP Pavilion dv9000 w/ Vista Home Premium. This laptop at first would download the updates, but would fail every time I tried to install them. I tried manually installing each and every one singularily (there was 27 updates) not one would install. So I followed the Windows Help instructions...To stop windows update, delete temporary update files, and then to start windows update. Now the message im getting is to "Install windows update software" and adds "to check for updates I must first install an update for Windows Update" So i click install now...wait for it to download and install, and in a few moments, a message comes up saying "windows could not search for new updates". So I click TRY AGAIN...and the process repeats itself...I Also want to add that I am not using a firewall....and I am connected to the internet.
I'd appreciate any input. Thanks
