Next I recommend you run the Windows Update Agent from within a Clean Boot:
Click Start , type msconfig in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER. (If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Continue .)
On the General tab, click Selective Startup .
Under Selective Startup , click to clear the Load Startup Items check box.
Click the Services tab, click to select the Hide All Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable All .
Click OK .
When you are prompted, click Restart .
Log back into your Account.

Now try updating again: Click Start -> click All Programs -> click Windows Update , click Check for Updates , and Install any that are found.

To restore your Normal startup:
Click Start , type msconfig in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER. (If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Continue .)
On the General tab, click Normal Startup .

Hi, I have the same problem, and would like to try this solution. To which folder shall I save the update when saved manually?
glenn- Rami,
Tried your approach - did not work for me!
Here's what I went thru
- my hardware tanked got the parts replaced
- while troubleshooting, went thru the reinstalling of Vista
- I am using Vista Ultimate
- the fresh install works ok, then came the torrents of updates
- then came along the updates that gave me the listing error code, namely Error Code 800F0825
- I also got another error code withing the same update 3701
Any help is appreciated. CathyMarshmelly, see if downloading and installing this update manually is more successful:

I too am getting this error message. Essentially every time I turn on the computer I get the message "Windows Can't check for Updates" on my start bar. I have tried the above without success. Is Microsoft working on this issue?
There was a "fix" tool on Microsoft's website but I had NO luck with that either. Not sure what else to do. Suggestions?
