updates. Defender updates fine. I am running Vista Home Premium 64 bit with 8
gigs of ram, AMD Phenom 9500 Quad-Core Processor 2.20 GHz. I have tried to
access the auto repair feature on Microsoft Support and it will not run. Also
have tried to update the flash. but the GetPlus will not load
either....Please help!

80070081.  I have an HP notebook PC running Vista Home Premium 64 bit.
I had it for about 2 months and all of a sudden I was unable to get any
Windows updates. . . all I got was the error code.  I have done a lot of
research on the web and found that others had this same issue.  I was on
the phone for hours with HP tech support and Microsoft(Microsoft wanted
to charge me!) and neither one was able to resolve my issue. Thankfully,
my PC was entitled to a free Windows 7 upgrade. I have had the disks for
several months but never got around to the installation.  Well, today
was the day!  I installed Windows 7 (as an upgrade-recommended).  The
installation took about 4 hours, but it was worth it.  Now I am able to
receive Windows Updates without any problems.  Also, I have not
encountered any other software issues either.  I joined this community
just to post this so I hope I was able to help other "techies" out
there!
