Can anyone help?

[Guest msu1fan]

I'm running Vista Ultimate.

 

I can't get windows update to work! I also can't get windows defender to

work either. All that happens is they both supposedly start checking for

updates and the bar just scrolls and scrolls never reaching any updates to

download. I normally would finish in about a few minutes. I restored my

machine back to before the last update that successfuly installed (6/20/07)

and I still have the problem.

 

Can anyone suggest what I should do to fix this problem as I don't want to

miss any critical updates?

 

I was going to reinstall Vista Ultimate as a last resort, but when I even

did that, and it asked if I wanted to search for updates before starting the

process, it just continued to search never ending too!

 

Please help!
