Vista Windows Update Errors
I have a Dell XPS 420 with the following specs: Operating System: Windows Vista ultimate 32 bit, no service packs installed Processor: Intel core 2 Duo E8400 3.0Ghz Ram: 4GB DDR2 GFX: ATI Radeon 2600XT DDR4 HDD: Recently Installed Seagate Barracuda 500GB HDD with C drive at 60GB, D Drive at 200GB and E Drive at 200GB Antivirus: McAfee total protection 2011 All drivers are installed and updated About 5 months ago, my hard drive failed. I installed a 500 GB Seagate barracuda hdd, and reinstalled windows vista. When I tried updating it, some update were successful and a few failed. 1: Update KB938194 (2.0MB)- had error 8007002. The problem is that when I tried installing another update KB937287 (4.0MB), I get error 8007007B The optional updates are succesful, so I suspect that if I install different important updates, they will have different errors. I tried using the help online such as Microsoft fix it, reinstalling the windows update standalone installer and tried using the standalone installer for these updates. I used the microsoft fix it tool in both default and aggressive settings but it doesn't work Can you please help me, as I need these updates to be successful to install vista service pack 1 and sp2. Thank You all if you help me.
