hi just clicked on the link to try coz im having problems like that too and my internet explorer saying the page cannot be displayed! its one problem after another with PC's! lol
You can access the Knowledge Base article here: How do I reset Windows Update components
Suggest you *save* ResetWindows.msi.
When the download completes close Internet Explorer and any other open programs.
Now run ResetWindows.msi and use the Default option first.
If Default does not resolve the updating issue, run it again in the Aggressive mode.
The system must be connected to the internet in order for the tool to download and install required software update components.
Some antivirus programs and security suites can interfere with the operation so, it would be best to Clean Boot Vista [ use Step 1 ], ensure that the native firewall is Enabled, and then run ResetWindows.msi.
Restart the system afterwards and see if the system can update now.
