The software in the link below is a batch file to perform all those tasks automatically. It's an easier way to fix Windows updates.
Don't forget to check time Time/Date settings on your machines because that will also keep Windows updates from working.
Repair & Fix Windows Updates with Fix WU Utility | The Windows Club
Hi just tried the magic button and it appeared to take longer to try and download but eventually it came up with the same message: -
"WindowsUpdate_8024402C" "WindowsUpdate_dt000"
Thank you for letting me know about the utility and I guess Vista and Windows 7 are out of same stable so the other link I posted from MS will be worth a try as well.
Ohh how I love PC's.
Cheers

OK so I ran the MS supported link fix Vista and it worked in the default mode. I have now been able to download the latest driver for my Network card and I hope that does not break it. On the instructions for the MS link I had to re-boot where the instructions for the link above did not ask for a re-boot so I can not say which one truly fixed the issue. I hope at some point in the future these messages might help others avoid several days of wasted effort.
IMO try the How do I reset Windows Update components? this 1st.
Will now try and see if I can log onto works machine...
BTW Norton 2010 is still installed and I did not have to turn off the firewall.
OK can now connect to works Machine so it seems it was a common problem. Remote Desktop Connection was not working until I ran the fix.
Time for a coffee...
Thank you for anyone helping and may your google fu be strong for anyone who has a similar problem and finds this thread in the future......
