Getting no updates
Nomad:
Still nothing till now!!!
Doesn't seem having to do with MS servers.
Any ideas, please?

Using an image that old may have caused some problems, but with "fresh" installs, checking for updates can take a long time and it's not just in Vista that this occurs.
You could run the appropriate SURT and then see what the log says.

The log can be found in C:\Windows\Logs\CBS then double click on the Checksur one which will open in Notepad.

Hi Nomad,
I had the same problem (on a WIN 7 64 bit machine) 2 days ago. I must admit, that I believe (not 100% sure) that the problem (impossible to do any windows update) came up AFTER running "Windows repair" !
After a lot of trial and error (I already wanted to reinstall), this solved my problem: http://christians-steffen.fr/telecharger/telecharger-windowsupdatediagnostic-diagcab/
(Don't worry about the French site, the program is in English).
Run both reapir alternatives offered by the program, one after the other ! I first only run the second repair (= windows update) and it did not repair all the errors. But after having also run the first repair ("background ... something"; sorry I don't recall exactly how it is called) Windows update" finally worked again.
Regards
Edit: sorry, the above link does not work to download; here is a link that works: http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9830262

It's ironic you say that because windows repair does the same thing the windowsupdatediagnostic.diagcab does :wink:

Hi
After trying the "MicrosoftFixit wu.Run" which couldn't fix the problem, I have just had time, today, to
turn my attention to this issue again. So, RodgerOver, I downloaded from both the links you mentioned, but couldn't open any of them (which program is the right one?). Then I downloaded the one from Boggin's link; it ran for almost 45 minutes and no results.
This seems a hard issue indeed!
Thanks for your attention.
