Vista - Why does vista keep updating?

Try installing the updates one by one. What's gay got to do with it?

Anyway I took a scan, and anyone can tell me what it means...

Generally? You serious? I think 90% of situations where your computer lets you try something again, just keep failing. "Try again" doesn't work unless you make some kind of change beforehand...or you just got unlucky updating or installing something.

I know that. But often unselecting multiple updates and installing them one by one works.

Yes it means Try again, I've had the same message sometimes, it generally installs at second attempt.

Some updates have to be accepted before you can install them. I do not think that makes the developer gay, he or she is just ensuing that your protection is doing what it is supposed to.

I was not calling anyone but the manufacturer of symantec antivirus, gay, because you can't, despite having the software, get updates to have symantec report to windows security alerts in a "format it understands" without submitting a serial number to their site. I've yet to see a degree of gay any higher.

K, I'll do the one by one thing. Doubt this is going to work though.

I would pick a better word as anyone who is gay reading this might think it rather derogatory.
