Vista Updates "Window modules installer stopped working and closed by bullmom
Vista Premium Home came installed on my Dell desktop about 6 months ago. Since November 2007, updates hang and will not complete. Some at 15%, others at 75%. Some will install and others won't complete. Clicking cancel has no effect. Hard shutdown is the only way to shut down, as the computer continues to run updates. I really want to keep updates current, but... Any suggestions?
