| 345050 | 2005-04-15 04:04:00 | Have read previous thread about difficulties downloading latest updates. Have Wns XP SP2. I get through to the Update page, click on get 'Get Latest Updates', then sit and wait for AGES - over an hour and 1/2 so far - staring at "Checking for the latest version of the Windows Update software..." - nothing seems to be happening. Have unchecked the "block pop-up" box on Kerio and IE tools, but this doesn't seem to help. I also have only the slow 56kbps phone linkup. Any quicker way of doing this?? Have downloaded previous updates but think I had to wait for hours for those as well. Don't want to use Auto Updates as it makes shutting down the computer take FOREVER. Help please!! :dogeye: | katharinem (3459) | ||
| 345051 | 2005-04-15 04:07:00 | Ummmm.....I don't really sit for all that time staring at the computer. Rather dash in and out between doing other stuff and trying to be patient. Look forward to any help. | katharinem (3459) | ||
| 345052 | 2005-04-15 04:38:00 | You could either turn auto updates on under My computer/right mouse/automatic updates . Or go here, and download the security updates relating to XP SP2 . Then install them . microsoft . com/security" target="_blank">www . microsoft . com under windows security . Or you could try going to c: / windows/downloaded program files . See if WUwebcontrol . class is here and delete it . (You may have to show all files to do this (Open my computer / tools/folder options/view / show hidden files and folders, then OK) . Then try the windowsupdate site again . . . . |

| 345053 | 2005-04-15 09:48:00 | I have a WUWebControl Class in my downloaded program files (it appeared on 3/8/04) - it is the only program there. I don't know what its purpose is and was interested to see that Speedy Gonzales said to delete it. Can you tell us a bit more about this downloaded program please - what it is for and why it is advisable to delete it. I did not get any info that made sense to me from Google. Thanks. | Finn (2140) | ||

Its a file when u go to the Windowsupdate site, it installs it to that folder . Its the same place, if u do a virus scan online the site puts the file here, so it can scan your system after . And it's similar to the wuwebcontrol . class file, u go back to the windowsupdate site, it'll detect this file, and scan what updates u need . Deleting it wont harm anything, but going back to the site, (after u delete the file), it'll reinstall the same file in the same folder, so it can scan your system for updates that u need . |
