I used to keep everything on my computer (the wife still does). For at least a decade I put everything I want to keep on a thumb drive.I have no idea, stumped.Did you do the KB3153199 patch? If so and it still didn't work you may need to check the fixes here;I've got a second HD in the Vista PC that's got XP on it.
Still can't get my updates to work. If I don't have it going by around Thanksgiving, when I'll have plenty of free time, I'll probably format.

The 3153199 went through enough to tell me it doesn't apply to my computer. I went through the process of resetting Windows Update components and then tried the 3153199 updater. Since that was able to connect enough to tell me it's not applicable, I'm now running the usual Windows Updates to see if it will work. I'll let it run until tomorrow.
Still checking for updates. Looks like nothing has been fixed.
The PC is still running, although I've had a couple of instances of it freezing up while playing a Windows-provided game with the little one. I'll leave it for now and format in a few weeks most likely. I just need to transfer all the crap I want to save, I'll have to see if I have the hard drive space.
I just had an idea, it may not help at all, or it might....... Do you have CCleaner on your computer?
