Why wont my computer configure windows vista updates?

[Ebonyuk72]

I've tried 8 times now to install windows updates on my computer. It'll install them then make me restart, then the configuration message comes up, and then it just wont do anything next. It always says 0% complete during the 1 of 3 updates, then says "Unable to configure updates, reverting to original settings"

Why? any help would be appreciated

This seems to be a regular Microsoft screw up.

there are 32 versions of vista and that sp1 update is for only one of them. You may find it will destroy your wifi by adding in a new sspt port you don't need. Ignore the update
