Hello all. I have been trying to use my Windows Update for all my updates and I keep getting the code 641 and 80070641 back. I am running on Vista Home Premium pre-installed on my Dell Studio laptop. I also tried installing one update at a time to see if that was maybe an issue, but nothing updates/installs, whether it's all the updates or just one at a time. I'm not comfortable with changing stuff in the registry but if I have to I will. Would it just be better to re-install the operating system? See? I don't know what I'm talking about. lol. Oh, I did run the Windows Fix It program. It said it fixed what was not working but my updates are still not updating. There was a mention of "accepting license terms..." I don't know how to access that because everytime I retry to update I get the same codes and nothing there that allows me to "accept" anything. Uggg. Help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much and take care.

Thanks Trusted. I already did that though and it said that all was fixed after I ran the program. So I went to the windows update to try the update again and no go. Still a fail all around.

Hi. I've been experiencing the same problem with my Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 and so far what method worked for me is method three here. It only works temporary though, I guess, because I reencountered this problem after another set of updates. It seems that I have to keep doing this whenever I update.

I hope to see a better solution.

is your date and time correct...(lower right side of screen) if not updates will fail...check it against your cell phone

Yes, my time/date is correct. Thanks much! :-)

Okie dokie. I initially tried the Windows Update agent and it didn't work for me. Thought I would try it again, and still, no updates.
