Windows Update error 800f0826
http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/Help/2d96561c-0a7a-492a-b48f-8317cf4f1fde1033.mspx
Indicates a previous update has failed to install and thus preventing further
installations of updates. Affects only Windows updates.
Open Windows Update and review your history.
Locate the update/s that have failed to install (you can view further information about
the failed update/s by double-clicking the update )
If the information reveals 800f0826 move onto the next one until you get the update that
displays a different error code to 800f0826.
Once you have located the update that has failed and caused the problem, then that needs
to be fixed before you can install the other updates.

Sorry, I'm not sure where I'm supposed to type in my reply on this format.
Hopefully you will see it.
Like I said, I tried fixing this using the instructions given to me in
Update troubleshooting, including the one you just passed to me about the
Bits and also about the OES. Still, all of the updates fail. I had this
problem when I first got this computer in Dec but apparently was able to fix
it for one group of updates, but haven't been able to dulicate that fix and
download any updates since then.

That's correct. I didn't realize the updates weren't being installed after
downloading them until recently. I just thought Vista required a lot of
updates.
