First, access the "Windows Update" service and stop it at "Start-Run-type 'services.msc'.. Next, create a new directory "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution.old", then move the
contents of "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution" into that folder (cut &
paste), and then trying "Windows update" again. Running Windows Update should create new, uncorrupted contents for the directory.
(Sometimes it's easier to rename the "SoftwareDistribution" folder to "SoftwareDistribution.old", then create a new one with the same name in the same C:\Windows location.)
Hope this helps.

This thread, and forum, deal with Windows Vista, so that method does indeed work with Vista.

I tried doing this and every time I try and move the files or rename the folder to "SoftwareDistribution.old" I get a message that says I don't have permission.
I am the Administrator of the system (the only user)
Tried It In Safe Mode Yet??

How To Start In 'Safe Mode'
And most importantly, make sure to "STOP" the Windows Update service FIRST.
Hope this helps.
