Hi Sam ... I ended up taking the whole system back to the supplier & they
uninstalled & reinstalled Vista for me. Prior to then I couldnt get it to
update at all & no I couldnt request help from microsoft either.
Since it being reinstalled I have not had any problems with vista updating.
Hope this helps :)

On January 15, same problem happen to me
I'm using EN-US version of Windows Vista Ultimate
After some search I found in other place a solution that works for me, so
let me try to explain how i solved the problem...

- using search, type cmd.exe, you will see it in list
- using the right buttom on your mouse, run the executable with
administrator previleges, it will open a DOS window
- you will need to stop windows update service, to do this, type in the
command line
net stop wuauserv

and wait
- afterwards on the command line, type
regsvr32 %windir%\system32\wups2.dll

and again wait for the execution
- Download the manual installer from here

http://download.windowsupdate.comwindowsupdate/redist/standalone/7.0.6000.381/WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe

and save it to any folder of your computer ( I save the file to
c:\windowsupdateagent30-x86 )

- from the command line (during all process i never close it), change to the
directory where you save the downloaded executable file, and in that
directory, type
WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe /wuforce

and wait
- A window will open and follow the instruction for the install
- when the install completes you need to reboot the computer

- after the reboot windows update will work again

But afterwards I found that some update aren't instaled, and Security Center
keeps turned off, well firewall and windows defender are working

Maybe meanwhile Microsoft find a solution

Thank''s to all folks who try to find solutions, and share them with all users
