I’m running Windows 7 Home Premium. I’ve never had any problems with Windows update until recently. I have a problem with one update: "Hewlett-Packard - Imaging, Other hardware - Null Print - HP Photosmart 7520 series". Any ideas why this Windows update installation fails?

Thanks,

Tom

Tom,

Pləase double-check that error number.

If the Component-Based Servicing (CBS) manifest is corrupted, you might receive a Error code: 0x80070490

    Thanks Bob for your advice and for taking the trouble to post your comments. After a while, I too found that hiding the update was the only way to deal with this error message. MS suggestions were totally unhelpful. Completely agree with you point about the two IT giants talking to each other. Seems obvious  - so why don't they do it!!

    Thanks Tom and Bob...I've had the same problem apparently for awhile.  I was mad aware of it the other day when MS interrupted me using my laptop and told me I had some kind of problem.  Apparently MS is full of BS.....I will take Bob's advice and hide the M-Fer.....LOL  Thanks guys....you saved me a lot of wasted time...which MS or HP aren't in the least concerned with!!!

    How do you "Hide the update"?

    Right click on the update and select the Hide Update option.
