Vista - Why does vista keep updating?

Understood.

Try all suggestions from this thread if they fail back again to my post 8

Thanks for all you help people. I'm gonna try to do your #8 post.

Someone also suggested installing the updated one by one. However I don't recall this option being anywhere and there is only the option to "install updates" from what I've seen.

Help.

1.Try install hotfixes on clean boot How to perform a clean boot procedure to determine whether background programs are interfering with a game or a program that you currently use
2.Try first install this hotfix:August 2009 Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 Application Compatibility Update

First one I don't see the relevance.

Second is installing an update. Problem is the only 3 (mandatory) updates I cannot even install. I think post #8 nailed it but I haven't tried it yet.

Don't see how any of those tell me how I can install updates one by one. Isn't there just an option like "install updates 1 by 1"?

I suspect any undentified 3p application cause this problem and thus I offer clean boot which disable all non-system services from 3p applications,and try Application Compatbility hotfix which can solve some issues with 3p applications as well

Try it as well.

Go to Control Panel>>Winodws Updates>>View Available Updates:

uncheck almost all -only leave one checked update (your choose which one you choose) and apply

Ok...I'll try this, first I guess.

K, all of the above failed. gonna try post 8 on here.

And now the last thing that has yet to fail me is completely uninstalling Office. WTF Microsoft? Why are you having issues with your own products? Microsoft Vista can't install updates for a MICROSOFT product, Office? Give me a break. It is definitely not third party interfering because I did a clean boot and it still failed. I installed a new OSX or whatever file from the Office CD and that did nothing, as well. ANYONE ELSE here have Office 2003?

New error code this time:




Another thing worth showing:



Does the latter have anything to do with the fact I can't install updates (the only ones I can't install are the Office 03 ones though, so others I am able to install)?
