Ok. now look at this page and I want you to check each of the services it lists, make sure they are set to automatic and that they are running. Let me know any that are not

when i first clicked on the Windows update under services a pop up said: Configuration manager: The specified device instance handle does not correspond to a present device.

But when I click on OK it went to the window that said it was automatic and started.

The link you sent said to place it on manual under the BITS ... I did not I left it automatic.

Looks like everthing is set to automatic.... Is started the same thing as running?

open regedit and browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\
If there is an enum key here, rename it to old_renum
this should fix this issue related to Configuration Manager: The Specified device instance handle does not correspond to a present device.

You may need to reboot. And yes if a service is started then it is running. where all of them running?

the only enum was under Current control set not Services. It would not allow me to rename it, but it wasnt the one you were looking for as it was not under services.

Yes they were all auto and started.

Given the fact that there is certificate corruption in the system that is causing it then a repair install would be best.

Nice thing about a repair install is it acts like an upgrade, so all your programs and files stay.

Do you have a vista with sp2 disk?

What brand and model? Sometimes they have a option in them to burn the files you need to a disk, I can look that up for you.

Dell Inspiron 530

Well I found this, but I have never done it, so if you do make sure to backup your data to an external hard drive just in case

Code: [Select]

In Advanced Boot Options, highlight Repair Your Computer and press Enter.
Click Next and logon to the administrator account in the computer.
Click Dell DataSafe Restore and Emergency Backup and DataSafe Options.
Choose Restore with preserving new or changed file. Click Next to continue.
Choose Yes and click Next to continue.
Progress status will appear. Click Restart to initiate the restoration process.

Or better yet we try to find a vista sp2 disk you can download, but I have only been able to find Windows 7 disks.

I use Carbonite for storage.. I dont have an external.
I can ask around for a sp2 disk but since I have everthing to Carbonite I may still try it. Been hoping to not have to go that route but looks like its necessary.
thanks again
will update later this week
