If i cancel the error code 8024000b is encountered ,*img107.imageshack.us/img107/4659/forum3hl6.th.jpgbut after a full update download and installation it shows failed with error code 800F0826 .*img245.imageshack.us/img245/2461/forum2be2.th.jpg

I have reinstall the operating system 2 times (I do it by a ghost image ) and yes it shows that it is genuine . Then what is the problem . Is there any third part sites which can provide me with individual updates .

Microsoft cant believe u r using a genuine vista..............hehehhe.

A ghost image if havea probem then u r repeating the same problem over & over again, if u have the disk try doing a fresh installation & then try updating the fresh install.
