Hi,

 

Using the Windows Vista Update I get the message that I have to install an

update on the Windows Update first. A few minutes after starting the install

I get the message: Cant look for updates! Error Code80000FFFF

 

What's wrong, I cant get any updates because I keep on getting back to the

'You have to...."

 

Anyone knows how do deal with this problem?

Open IE 7, click Tools, Manage Add-ons

Set the Show: window to " Add-ons that have been used by Internet Explorer "

Locate WUWebControlClass and click once on it to highlight it

Than click the 'Update ActiveX' button towards the bottom

 

NOTE: Vista not installed here so the above may not be applicable in Vista

Didn't help.As you thought no WUWebControlClass in Vista. I found

MUWebControlClass in WindowsXP(on a different computer) but that is not in

Vista either.

Any other suggestions?
