SYMPTOMS
When you search for updates in Windows Vista, you receive the following error message:
CAUSE
This issue occurs if the date and time that are on the computer vary too greatly from the valid date and time. The valid date and time are on the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate that the Windows Update Web site uses. In this scenario, the Windows Update scan operation is unable to scan the computer for updates successfully.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, verify the date and time in Windows Vista. To do this, follow these steps:
- Click Start, type Date and Time in the Start Search box, and then click Date and Time in the Programs list.
- In the Date and Time dialog box, click Change date and time.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type your password, or click Continue.
- In the Date and Time Settings dialog box, configure the correct date and time, and then click OK two times.
