Title: Can't check for updates
Post by: ayoder on August 18, 2007, 07:21:31 AM

 I'm using windows vista and it says it can't check for updates. When I try to do it manually it says to check for updates you must first install an update for windows update. When I click on install now it gives me errors found code 80070002. How do I get the updates to install

Other than the error code...what is the exact messsage (verbatim, which means "word-for-word") you are receiving when you try to download and install this update?

I googled as well and found several fixes...that's why I was hoping the poster could be a little more specific with the error code.
