RE: Error 80070643 Updating Windows Update

Well folks, after harassing Microsoft support everyday for four months, they
finally relented and sent me a n/c vista reinstall disc. I think this should
be mandatory of all pc manufacturers to begin with. What a crock when you
have to go through what I did to get a copy of your operating system to
correct a problem with the operatiing sysytem that was supposed to be
installed correctly on your system to begin with??

Long story short, the update on the system worked and I have had no problems
with error codes or updates since.

Maybe if more of us complained and were unrelentless Microsoft will one day
not issue software until it has been tested and not dump their crap on the
general public to fix and find their bugs.

ngI have a couple of questions; and from them you can tell I'm no computer
geek.

I'm not concerned with auto updates which have definitely been failing. I'm
just concerned with manual updates which fail as well. A number of weeks ago
I was having trouble with a real slowdown in my computer. I called Dell and
paid for phone software service. At some point I think my registry was
touched though I don't remember for sure.

Can you explain. Is the disc you got the equivalent of a complete reformat?
Sorry for sounding and I guess being so dense.
