If the problem started recently, use system restore to go back to good times.

Hi slovenia7,

In addition, try to follow the steps in the mentioned link to reset windows update and check if it works: Windows Update - Reset - Windows 7 Forums

Also run SFC scannow and check if it fixes any corruption, use the following link for detailed instructions:

I tryed what you told me but i still cant open windows update tab:
-Is there any more programs which can update my windows vista?
-And if you coud recomend me some programs to backup my files ,and make my system image?


Thank you!

I have and use
Karens replicator to back up my stuff
and
Macrium Reflect to back up the entire Operating System

 

[slovenia7]

So if i use these programs if my computer crashes i will be a ble to reastore it?
And can i update my windows vista any other way?


Thank you!

 

[richc46]

If you use Karens, your stuff will be safe, no matter what.
If you use Macrium, and you restore with it, everything will be the same. You will still have the problem. You have to use Macrium when things are good.
You may have to just install the Operating System, again.

 

[slovenia7]

Ok i will use those 2 programs.So there is no program which can update windows vista beside windows update?

One way is directly by windows update and other is via Microsoft website

Hi slovenia7,

I know you've already done an SFC, but I would like you to do another so I am working with an up to date CBS log:

SFC Scan

1. Click on the Start
   
   button and in the search box, type Command Prompt
2. When you see Command Prompt on the list, right-click on it and select Run as administrator
3. When command prompt opens, copy and paste the following commands into it, press enter after each
   
   sfc /scannow
   
   Wait for this to finish before you continue
   
   copy %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log %userprofile%\Desktop\cbs.txt
   
   
4. This will create a file, cbs.txt on your Desktop. Please attach this to your next post.

Then I would like to download and install the System Update Readiness Tool:

Download System Update Readiness Tool for Windows Vista (KB947821) [September 2012] from Official Microsoft Download Center

After it has finished, please copy and paste the contents of its log:

C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CheckSUR.persist.log

To fix Vista AND replace all the program files I purchased/used a program called "reimage". I have repaired Vista two times using it. It is less than $80/year. They even remove any virus on the computer. The last time my Windows Update, due to a virus damage, would not function and this program fixed it! This program actually replaces the bad files, adds the missing files and re-writes whatever is need to fix Windows Vista. The program will fix this issue and many others. I do not work for these people--I am just a user of it. Be sure, when you buy it, to use a credit card that you do not use often becasue the location of the company is foreign and your credit card company may put a watch on your card. That may limit the card use for a short time....To me it was worth that small agravation. Better, you do not have to know anything about how a computer operates, it does all of it while you just wait---takes about 2>4 hours to run.
