[QUOTE="eyepea, post: 12785858, member: 200324"] While trying to update windows, I got the error - Windows update encountered an unexpected error. Code 80248015 First I got it in a Widows 7 comp. Now I got it on a Vista comp. Both windows copies are genuine. Any ideas ? If you got it and solved it, please give me some ideas as to the solution Or a link to web page that gives the steps to follow. Am sorry if this is a re-post. I tried searching Elakiri Forums - Either the search page hangs or there is some error on the search page. If this has been discussed in this forum, please post a link to it. I searched Google for it. Tried some of the solutions suggested, including running Microsoft Fix-it. Did not solve the problem so far. Searching and trying other solutions. I did not want to disable the firewall and test windows update and very reluctant to do so. Am using windows firewall on both comps. Last time many years ago I connected a machine to the internet without a firewall running and I got a virus. :baffled: If you solved the problem by disabling the firewall, let me know. But heck, if I have to stop windows firewall to fix windows update problems ..... :P Also anyone using any third party software to download and install windows updates on vista and win7 without the bothersome microsoft update service, please let me know. thanks [/QUOTE]
