The Windows Update icon is in the system tray all the time, telling me to install updates. Once it finishes it tells me it needs to reboot to finish updating, so I do that. After it reboots the icon is still there telling me to install the same updates. I attached a screenshot of the updates. How do I stop this?

Is it giving any errors?
If the updates are giving you driver updates:
Restart in Safemode ( http://www.computerhope.com/issues/chsafe.htm#03 )
Right click "My Computer"
Click "Devices" on the left sidebar
Find the device that is being updated, and click the "Reinstall Driver" button
(Information From: http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?t=582405 )
This should correct the issue

It doesn't give any error message. I already have the latest nVidia drivers, I'm not concerned about those.
-
Under update history are there any failed installations?
If so click the error code and you will be directed to the appropriate help. From these codes you may find that one update is causing them all to fail - in this case find the update that has a different error code, unselect it, install other updates. If that is successful then follow the troubleshooting steps to enable that update to install.
If this does not resolve the problem then try installing updates one at a time.
You should try exploring Microsoft's (http://microsoft.com) Vista help articles for information related to this...

Holy cow, I just got the EXACT same error, what was the install was it KB935807?
-
Yea I have a solution. Uncheck the KB935807 update and install all others. I have experienced, and a quick Google reveals the problem with this update is widespread. Hide it for now - Microsoft will get on to it at some stage... I believe it addresses the Windows Firewall so if you are not using that you will not be adversely affected.

"And Microsoft Says: 'Banana Phone!'"
Well, hopefully Microsoft will use its reporting technology to realise that something is wrong
SP1, where art thou?
-
Yes I have Vista Ultimate and are longing for a Service Pack, though with this recent update event (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rlz=1B3GGGL_enNZ223NZ223&q=KB935807&btnG=Search), I am doubtful about whether its arrival will bring much success...
