I have an issue with Vista updates. I have them set to update automatically,
but a lot of them are failing. My Media Center updates, Win Defender updates,
and some security updates. Sometimes it will work when I do them maunally,
but most other times it will just fail. Anyone else had this issue?
Other than this, Vista is great!

I have the exact same problem.
 
Hi,

The cause might be the corruption of update folder.
Try to stop windows update service in services.msc and rename
the folder C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution, then restart windows update
service. Then use windows update to download these updates.
 
Hello,
What is the error code and\or message with the failure?
What is in the Windows Update.log?
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]

That worked for me too. Easy fix.

Where is this log you speak of?
