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.

then set a second filter

then set a third filter

Include
then click Add then Ok.
Try updating and peruse the log for failed file operations.
