Windows Vista Error 646
 Rubies is in trouble again..........I have my computer set to download from windows at 1p., and is on "Hibernate." Many times around that time, the computer goes on by itself. Today, Windows downloaded about 15 updates, but was not able to download 4 of them, and says that I have error #646, and that I should look online to fix it. I have IE8.
I went online, but have no idea as to what to do. What is error #646, and what does someone who has limited computer skills does or follow this computer jargon, that is a different language to me.? I am still struggling trying to learn how to drag, copy, and paste!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your help, as always, is most appreciated, and I thank you so very much. |

Look in your windows update history, which updates didn't install?

Security Update for the 2007 Microsoft Office System [KB972581]
Security Update for Microsoft Works 8 [KB973636]

What is the next step? Thank you,

When I looked at the Hyperlink that you provided, it frightened me so much, primarily because I do not know what I am doing, and I may cause more problems that I have, to my PC.
I have gone to other forums with FAQ, but they all seem to be so complicated for the novice.
Is there an easier way to fix this error? I thank you all of you so very much...................
