Hi, I have Vista Ultimate 64 installed in my pc with SP2. I never had any problem with automatic updates until recently where after i installed the updates the pc entered an infinite rewstar loop after trying to install update 3 of 3. I googled it and saw that this problem came on surface on february and after installing a certain update first u were ok but i already have this update through SP2...any idea what to do in order to install this updates without problem?
Restart loop if i install updates

I have already see this which is about an old update and also used the solution to get out of the loop but the file that is said to install in this page afterwards so as to be able to install the updates when i try to install it i get an error message that it doesn't apply to my system probably because i already have it

next run CheckSur Description of the System Update Readiness Tool for Windows Vista, for Windows Server 2008, for Windows Server 2008 R2 Release Candidate, and for Windows 7 Release Candidate
even if this tool won't resolve problem automatically it create logs:

System also create logs -there is log C:\Windows\WindowsUpdate.log but this log is mostly too big
So download FireGenUL Altair Technologies Ltd.

firegenul
and then will create short *.htm report from WindowsUpdate.log placed in C\Windows\System32 -report name FireGenUlReport.htm
