Upgrade to 7 or down grade to XP (which technically would still be an upgrade from vista....)

Perhaps you might like to describe your problem.

Just to start the fanboys off... Get a Mac

While I don't know about this issue I can can say the free ver of 'windows secrets' email can be helpful for finding out which updates MS fucked up each month & which are "safe" to install. MS's monthly patch release day got the nickname "black tuesday" for a reason

Come on Poos, I thought you loved me?

Obvious stuff is to check the BITS service is running, check the date and time on your PC is correct and check your Interweb proxy settings.

Seriously though...if it's for erm....personal home use and you have a mate/cuzzy/dog/girlfriend with a nice Windows 7 COA sticker and licence key then I'd have no hesitation in suggesting you stick Windows 7 on your machine. It's MILES better. I'm generally against software piracy but as far as I'm concerned, Microsoft should have given every poor sucker stuck with Vista a copy of Win 7 for $50 or less. For starters they'd have lost a lot less customers to that black jersey wearing FreeBSD/Samsung/etc nicking Satanist.
