scuzzman Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 Are your security settings set too high in internet explorer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt James T. Kirk Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 also worth mentioning, is your os a legit one? windows now has a prg. it installs to check that. if its not you wont be able to update either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarecrow Man Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 Another forum suggests, installing the updated .Net Framework - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&displaylang=en Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarecrow Man Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 Did you Run from current location, or save it? I'd save it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 Can you check what the WindowsUpdate error code is (in C:\WINDOWS\WindowsUpdate.log near the bottom; check the time when you last ran WindowsUpdate). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
