Re: windows update error 80070057   

Windows Vista Update error 80070057 usually occurs due to incorrect HTTP proxy settings. 

Resolution Method 

To resolve this issue, you need to clear the existing proxy settings by performing the following steps: 

  1.. Open Start menu, select Run, type cmd, and then press Enter. 
  2.. To view the current proxy settings, at Command Prompt, type Proxycfg.exe and then press Enter to run the command. 
  3.. To clear the existing proxy settings, type Proxycfg -d and then press Enter. 
  4.. Finally, ensure that the Background Intelligent Transfer Service is running on the computer by performing the following steps: 
    1.. Open Start menu, select Run, type Services.msc, and then press Enter. 
    2.. Scroll down the Services window and double-click on Background Intelligent Transfer Service. 
    3.. If the service is not running, on the General tab, click the Start button. 
  5.. Run Windows Vista update on the PC again.
