Guest Ddraigcoch Posted February 4, 2003 Report Share Posted February 4, 2003 Hi MadboyI would try emptying your WUTemp folder, if exists, and your C:\windows\temp folder, then try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ddraigcoch Posted February 5, 2003 Report Share Posted February 5, 2003 Do you reboot after installing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarthy © ® ™ Posted February 5, 2003 Report Share Posted February 5, 2003 Hi madboy33™ ;) ,Could you be more specific on the updates? I ask because I had trouble with a Processor update a few months ago and the only way around it was to install manually. It kept failing to install for me.Do you use Windows Update? If so are the updates logged as failed within "View Installation History"?Have you updated all the Windows Update Software as it becomes available??? I had an update a few days ago...I don't think that the rebooting will make much difference, as you will restart at some time or another... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter e Posted February 5, 2003 Report Share Posted February 5, 2003 My computer is set for automatic windows updates and I've never had any problems with it. But earlier this evening, up popped the little message - "two critical updates for you" - OK, I said, and left it to it. A liitle later I hovered over the icon - 52% complete - a short time later the icon had disappeared. Don't know what happened but I didn't get my usual "updates complete" message. I'll do as Scarthy suggests and check the installation history. :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter e Posted February 5, 2003 Report Share Posted February 5, 2003 Just checked and none of the updates had been installed so I'm doing them manually. :angry: Incidentally, I never hear from Big Fix these days. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bvw Posted February 8, 2003 Report Share Posted February 8, 2003 Windows Security Update 810833 would repair a flaw that could allow an attacker to gain control over my PC if I were using it as a server. Security Update 329170 would protect against a flaw that could help internal hackers take control of my corporate network.Hmm.....perhaps we don't need these updates as they seem to be for servers and corporate networks. Might be something to do with the worldwide internet slowdown etc the other week.Only guessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
