There is a problem with one of the updates on Vista, too.  Don't know if it's the same update but looking on the net and at Microsoft there doesn't seem to be any fix.  There are a lot of suggestions but I've tried them all and none have fixed my problem.  I'm getting an error code of 643

Thanks, Jack. I don't even get an error code and there is no useful information about that particular update on the MS site. Oh, well!

Vista users obtain a Security warning prompt "An unidentified program wants access to your computer" when trying to install KB928366

 

 

When I try to go into standby or hibernate, this is what I get: The service

'Microsoft .NET Framework v1.1.4322 Update' is preventing the machine from entering standby. Try stopping this service and try again.  Don't know how to disable this.

Net Framework cleanup tool,

MS auto update feature can sometimes be a drag & switching it off doesn’t always work

And yes, some like KB928366 do appear to cause install problems

 

But suggest you don’t go into standby during any MS auto updates

 

If you try to shutdown a computer during any MS auto update/install you should get a warning message that updates are in progress, ignoring such a warning can cause problems

 

Albeit you should have a service called BITS (Background Intelligent Transfer Services) a program if enabled supports resuming download transfers in case of disruptions

 

For WXP Pro SP2, BITS default setting is Manual & changing the default settings is normally not recommended

If really interested in BITS & auto updates see this post

 

 

Thanks to all for there suggestions. Unfortunately, none of them worked!! Anyway, my compute is running just fine so I will leave well alone.

Thank you mombodog for the suggestion. When I went to the link for the cleanup tool and tried to download it, I got an error message that said that the file I was trying to download was not a valid Win 32 file.  Still need help. Again here is the problem.  When I try to put my Inspiron 700M into standby or hibernate mode I get this message:  The service 'Microsoft .NET Framework v1.1.4322 Update' is preventing the machine from enterng standby.  Try stopping this service and try again. >> There is nothing in the knowledge base about this error message or how to stop the service or why this occurs. This began after Tuesday's update to .NET Framework was downloaded.

Thank you BELL BOY. I now understand how I enabled the problem to occur. I will take your advice into play the next time I download updates - I will not go into standby. However, this doesn't help me now, because I've already done it. And I can't seem to find instructions on how to "disable the service" as the error message tells me to do.  So if you have any tips about how I can reverse the problem at this point, I'd appreciate it.  Here is what is happening:  When I try to put my Dell Inspiron 700M into standby or hibernate mode, I get this message:  The service 'Microsoft .NET Framework v1.1.4322 Update' is preventing the machine from entering standby.  Try stopping this service and try again.
