| Vista Home Premium x64 | Cannot access Windows Updates in Control Panel - computer Stalls Dell Vista x64 SP1 Intel Core i7 920 6gb ram crucial (2gb strips) High end video card (i forgot b/c I am so stressed) 640GB HDD (purchased May 5, 09) I was having issues before with installing updates. I tried the rename "SoftwareDistribution" trick and it worked briefly. Then I started having major issues that I traced backed to some rogue software (Rollback Rx Pro - AVOID!!). After uninstalling this, I tried to access updates. Still no dice. After I click on the Update link it just stalls. Ten minutes later - still no action. I tried the Vista Startup Repair. It said there were no issues. Plz help. |
