I have recently installed Vista on a Toshiba Laptop. Some Windows updates
fail to install with an error 800706BA. Can anyone tell me how I delete these
failing updates so that I can get them down loaded again and attempt to
reinstall?
Thanks

Have you tried rebooting and then open WU again. Which updates fail and =
what error message are you getting with the failure. Can you post it =
here in it's entirety

F:\>net helpmsg %c%

The remote procedure call failed and did not execute.


Looks like you could have a problem with  RPCSS?   Is it running?

Try executing (in a cmd window)

sc  queryex  rpcss

What do you see?

I have the 800706BF failure (having got rid of the 800706BA failure, I
hope!).   RPCSS is running.

Any ideas as to what to do now would be appreciate - and also probable cause
of this unpleasant situation.

Thanks.
