Whenever I try to update my Windows (Vista, 32-bit) I get the Code 80072EF error and I don't know what to do.

Unfortunately none of those worked.
I still cannot update my Windows and it's been days.

Sorry to hear that. Worked for me on the last Vista box I was repairing.

Hopefully someone with more Vista/Update experience will drop in here soon.

I'm not sure why but none of those suggestions worked either.
BUT I did finally find a page that worked. All I did was remove my computer password and it started working. My updates are downloading as we speak. (What the...? Lol.)

Thanks to the both of you!
