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. :confused:

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.

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. :unsure:
