Error message 80070490
Jake
returned error code 80070490 in the window. I've tried restoring to a
previously-successful 'windows update' restore point but the problem
persists. There doesn't appear to be any reference in the Microsoft Knowledge
Base to this particular error code. Any ideas on the problem and how to
resolve it? Thanks.

Hi PA Bear,
I'm using Vista Business, Office 2007 and Firefox.
Re Engel's links to discussions on the problem, it seems to me that those
discussion relate to problems resulting from syncing mobile devices with
other devices rather than to stand-alone desktops - which is what I have.
Have I missed something? Regards,
Jake/Ian

initializing or using session variables] or Element not found
Any other errors in the event viewer?
Jake
Event viewer gave the following info:"Unable to Connect: Windows is unable
to connect to the automatic updates service and therefore cannot download and
install updates according to the set schedule. Windows will continue to try
to establish a connection."
Does this help?

Check your firewall settings. Perhaps someone else may be able to jump in
with some more ideas.

to do was enter the services menu, and reset the following services in this
order: BITS (Background Intelligent Transfer Service) - Cryptographic
Services - Windows Update)
then restart your system. that worked for me once but it only worked until i
restarted my computer again. any other more permanent ideas would be greatly
appreciated, and i hope that these suggestions help somebody.
Jake
service for update issues - thanks for that advice, PA Bear. In spite of
trying various 'fixes' with guidance from Microsoft, I ultimately had to
'upgrade' (not reinstall) Windows using the original Windows Vista disk. This
process takes much longer than a typical install - so long in fact that at
one stage I thought the system had frozen and that I'd have to do a complete
reinstall. Fortunately 'upgrade' eventually completed the various tasks and
all original data, other installed software and setting were preserved, so
'upgrading' was the better option - for me at least.
I hope this helps. Good luck.
AndyL
when looking in 'add remove programs' - 'view installed updates' the list is
empty - the list in 'Review your update history' in Windows Update is
populated.
The last few updates listed (in Update History) are Windows Defender
updates, nothing apparently odd that perhaps I would might consider something
that might cause a problem.
This Vista Ultimate pc has been running for 6 or more months, IE7, Office
etc - pretty standard pc by anyones terms.
Restarting the services mentioned, in my case, does not remedy the problem
as it has with Hive Tyrant.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
With thanks, Andrew

I am having the same issue as well as an 8E5E0442 update code. I am running
Vista Ultimate 64-bit. I have tried just about everything...
Jake, as far as doing the Vista Upgrade upon trying to reload, did that
leave all of your data and programs intact? This is one of my first ventures
into Vista, let alone 64-bit, and I am weighing my options.
TIA!

shown any success in clearing the problem. If you have a lot of time on your
hands, 2+ hours, turn on your computer and boot to Vista. Insert your
original Vista DVD, then select "Upgrade" from the list, and let the program
do the rest. It seems that this has been the only really successful way of
getting the Windows Update to work again. A number of people have done this
method and say it works. You may have to reinstall sound drivers once it is
done.

I have the same problem with windowsupdate.
You solved it by upgrading from the original disk.
Was your original disk a OEM version for Vista or the full package?

Where this post is currently rank two.
Here's a newsflash to all you help people by telling them to look things up
on google-newbies. The posts you reply to may very well end up getting
indexed by google. I suppose you don't realize what this means... it means
that I get stuck in google loops every time I try to sort out an error
because cluless chap x tells person b to look something up on google. Stop
doing it right now. You're the ones causing a problem for thousands of
people. Having multiple threads all over the webb resolving the same problem
would not be an issue. Having multiple unresolved threads pointing to
multiple unresolved threads now there's the bitch.

You receive a "0x80070490" error code when you use Windows Update
or Microsoft Update Web sites to install updates
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/958044
Essentially saying you should perform an in-place (repair) installation of
your operating system.
It would be *fantastic* if you happen to have a Windows XP CD with
SP3 integrated into it or a Windows Vista DVD with SP2 integrated
into it - but most people do not. ;-) (Depending on what OS you have.)

You really moved downhill in terms of protection and performance overall,
IMHO, with your switch in AV/all-in-one products.
I would recommend getting rid of McAfee (especially any all-in-one suite)
and getting either Avira AntiVir (free) or eSet NOD32 (AntiVirus only, ~$59
U.S. for 2 years.)
Use either the free MalwareBytes to scan periodically and cleanup the
malware it finds *or* purchase MalwareBytes ($24.95 U.S. I believe) and just
not get the malware in the first place.
As for the firewall - use the built-in Windows firewall. Now - you might
counter with, "But that only checks inbound traffic - not outgoing." and you
would be correct - but yor AV and antimalware should prevent that from
becoming an issue and if it is outgoing - that means it has already made
itself at home and likely was able to turn off any filters that would have
detected it given it is already installed.
