I've tried all the posted methods, hotfix for BITS (doesn't apply to my
system), clearing the QMGR files from BITS, and Clearing the whole Software
Distribution directory from windows.

bitsadmin gives:

When WU service does crash, the start bar and menu goes nuts [back to
looking like WinXP] and only disabling the windows update service prevents
the problem.
Automatic updates are and have been enabled since install.

Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit [only cause I have a freaking iPhone]
 
Re: Windows Update Service Crashes When check for new updates starts

This should not be reappearing in the log:

Apparently the installation of the latest Version of the WUA is not
running to completion as the log indicates that it's being downloaded
over and over.
As to why ... could be interference from 3rd party software or just
plain brittleness on the part of Vista.

What I'm not seeing is the registering of the components, re: .dll files.
Not having Vista installed, I'd suggest locating
WUClient-SelfUpdate-Core-TopLevel~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~7.0.6000.381
and deleting all instances found.
Then unregister and then delete these files:

regsvr32 /u wuapi.dll

wuapi.dll
wuaueng.dll
wucltux.dll
wudriver.dll
wups.dll
wups2.dll
wuwebv.dll

Then delete these files:
wuapp.exe
wuauclt.exe

Download the latest WUA from here:
http://download.windowsupdate.com/W...one/7.0.6000.381/WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe

When the download completes close all browsers and open programs.
Stop the Windows Update service via the Services console or from
Start > Run > net stop wuauserv

Add /wuforce to WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe and then choose 'Run as
administrator'

If that fails then you'll probably have to repair the OS from the DVD,
ensuring that all system files are reverted back to their original
state. Which would mean that all updates would then have to be reapplied
if Vista behaves as XP does. :(
