Have error code 0x8000FFFF

 

Most recent Vista updates I was able to grab were on 6/17.

 

I have tried updating in Safe Mode, same error occurs.

 

Trying to uninstall the installed updates seems to fail without indicated

error, the machine reboots with everything still installed.

 

Everytime the machine reboots I get the "configuring updates" message.

 

I also tried using Windows Update Server Update Services 3.0 and that yields

the same error.

 

Have disabled all non-ms services in MSconfig, and disabled most startup

applications, does not help either.

 

Tried getting rid of SoftwareDistribution folder

 

Also tried net stop / start WuAuServ

 

Any help would be really really appreciated. I'd hate to have to flatten

this machine!

 

Snippet from log is below:
