XP pro update problem


Recommended Posts

Lately I noticed I don't get any updates notices so I decided to update myself but:

When I click on start>all programmes>windows update I get this error notice from IE:

[Error number: 0x800A0046] 
Please change your Internet Explorer security settings
To save changes to your settings for this website, you need to enable userdata persistence for Internet Explorer. Complete the steps below, and then click Change settings to the left and try saving your changes again.
In Internet Explorer, on the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
Click the Security tab, click the Internet security zone icon, and then click Custom Level.
In the Settings dialog box, scroll to the Miscellaneous section.
Under Userdata persistence , select Enable.
Click OK and when the security warning dialog box appears, click Yes.

But my setting is just like that . I tried to disable and then enable again and reboot but I still get this error.

The way you invoke the update site will most likely go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/

Do you get the same error if you go to http://update.microsoft.com/ ? (This should install the latest version of the update software).

I get the same error

(not using IE7 beta....)

will try some of the suggestion in andsome's link and let you know if it any of them work....

Did you read the 'read more' link in the error message? Did it give any additional tips?

P.S. I don't know why the 'highlight' tag doesn't work anymore here in the forum...
