Windows Update Error 80240016

I'm running Vista Home Premium.

After updating to SP1, I got a message for the cumulative update: Media
Center for Windows Vista (KB955519).

Every time I try to download it, it fails. Unable to download or install,
with error 80240016. I haven't been able to get past this or get any
further updates since this problem started. Every time I boot I get the
error msg that it's unable to check for updates.

Any help with this matter would be appreciated.

have you tried sfc /scannow ???

Did you try this:

Additionally, run Disk Cleanup and delete all temporary files.

When I run SFC /SCANNOW from the command prompt, logged in as an
administrator I get the following error message:

"You must be an administrator running a console session in order to use the
SFC utility".

I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I can't use it, or use it properly.
It seems that the file isn't downloading initially to do the update. It
only gets to 0% downloading the update when it fails. Hope this helps, and
if anyone has any othe ideas it would be appreciated.
