Hi spycorfu

All i can say is that i have been able to update my E90 and my Laptop is running Vista Home Premium and NUS with out any problems at all.

Hello,

I've had problems with nsu on vista before. I 've figured out, that the Internet connection sharing service prevents the nsu to work properly. Go to task manager and stop the service.

Cheers,

That's it ... that's totally the reason it didn't work for me ... Internet Connection Sharing

BUT ... you cannot stop the service in task manager if you enabled it from the regular connection preferences window ...

You will need to go to your network connections ...

And then, from the right click menu on each connection, select the advanced tab, and then look for the internet connection sharing section and uncheck it

Now, before restarting Nokia Software Updater ... which should work fine ... just to be sure ... right click the desktop icon / shortcut ...

... select properties ... and then the compatability tab ...

Now check Run this program in compatability mode for Windows XP (service pack 2) ....

And then apply and then open the Nokia Software Updater ...

You should have a straight through solution !!!
