    Windows Update Not Working

    Hi there,

    Windows Update has 1 item available for me at current, which supposedly
    downloads and installs, but when my pc restarts and I check again, it is
    still there.

    Any ideas why this is happening?

    The item is,

    Update for Windows Vista (KB943411)
    Error Details: Code 80004005



    TIA.

    Nick.

    Hi,

    See if it is available to uninstall in the Control Panel/Programs and
    Features/Windows Updates. If so, go ahead and uninstall it, then reboot and
    reinstall it.

    Just a quick update. The problem seemed to just go away.
