I see people have been having this problem since early 07. I have the same error code and will search for the code you mentioned. Too many unsolved problem in Vista sp1. I've had a problem with Windows Media Store Center since I got my Asus almost a year ago. I always get the message that it is being worked on and will be included in updates soon. I've been arguing with other people that I don't know what there problems are, I love the new Vista. I guess I should have listened to them. With over 100 people complaining they can't get their updates, how can these problems be left unattended to? Not only can I not get updates, it keeps telling me I Have updates to install!
