Has anyone discovered a solution to this problem. I also have Vista and
within the last week my pc started saying "Windows can't check for updates".
I have tried every solution I could find by searching the internet to no
avail. I am almost ready to give up and wipe my hard drive and install
linux.

I also have the same problem - vista, can't check for updates, etc. and i was
thinking of wiping my hard drive too.. but because i haven't used that
computer for over a year, i wasn't sure if that had anything to do with the
problem.. now it seems to be a problem with vista, since you only started to
have this problem last week.. so i think i'll wait for a solution to come up
???
ps. my other vista computer that i use daily doesn't seem to have this
update problem though..
