Cannot run Windows Update

OS = Vista Home Premium

When I try to run Windows update manually, I receive the following error;

Windows could not search for new updates, along with error Code 800F080D.

I have windows update set to receive and install automatically. The last
update is dated 25 June 2008.

Just a question: Are you running Vista or Vista SP1?

=========================

The update is not installed successfully, you receive a message, and the
computer restarts when you try to install an update in Windows Vista:

Tip: Skip the blather and scroll down to the "How to avoid this problem"
section at the bottom of the page.

Vista SP1.

I have since received an automatic update, but I still receive the error
when attempting to run manually.

Did Vista SP1 come preinstalled on your machine when you bought it, did you
install it via Windows Update, or did you install it manually?

Did you do this or was KB937287 already installed?

What is it that I'm not telling you?

KB937287 successfully installed on my PC - 13th Feb 2008
KB936330 (SP1) successfully installed - 18th March 2008 (2nd attempt (1st
attempt failed))

Windows update states - most recent check for updates - 25/June/2008.
Updates were installed 26/July/2008 (Failed) KB940157 (windows search 4.0)

By the way - delays in responding are partly due to the time difference. I
am located in Scotland.

KB937287 was already installed.
I have downloaded and tried to and run the stand alone
Windows6.0-KB937287-v2-x86.msu package as suggested in KB949358. I get the
following error; The update does not apply to your system.
I cannot try repair method 3. I have 2 hdd set in raid 0.

Also, I do not have the problem of my PC restarting when I try and install
an update.

No point in attempting to install an update that's already been installed
(which is basically what that error was telling you).

At this point, I'd recommend opening a free support incident:

Unlimited installation and compatibility support for Vista SP1 is available
at no charge through 18 Mar-09

• UK:
http://support.microsoft.com/oas/def...4&gprid=500921
• Other: http://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx | select Windows
Vista | select Windows Vista Service Pack 1

Let us know how you make out, please. Good luck.
