344327 2005-04-13 02:36:00 I am having problems with one PC downloading the recent Windows XP Updates released in the last few days. Never been a problem before. Tried on another PC and no problem downloading or installing. Removed firewall on ofending PC. Error message after clicking the "Install" button on the MS site is "Updates did not download". Tried several times after reboot etc. Any suggestions would be most appreciated........

Thanks

344328 2005-04-13 02:38:00 Have u scanned for spyware/viruses etc??

Some worms etc can alter the info in Windows relating to the Windowsupdate
site.

344329 2005-04-13 02:40:00 Yep, PC scanned daily with 3 different progs. Sergio (928)
344330 2005-04-13 02:45:00 Is that all the error says?? Nothing else?

If u still cant get the updates I would get them manually with the main PC and copy them then install them to the pc that isnt downloading the updates.

Have u got SP1 or 2 installed for XP at the mo??

If u want updates this is the place to go for manual downloads (for security updates) .

. microsoft . com/security/default . mspx" target="_blank">www . microsoft . com

Click on Windows security updates . Voila theyre listed here .

Or if u want office updates same place . , office security updates .
