| 169870 | 2003-08-23 07:35:00 | Have just used Windows Update to install DirectX which it claimed was necessary. Now when I go to Start, Windows Update; I just get the following screen v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com which just says 'Thank you for your interest in Windows Update', but gives no way of going there! |

| 169871 | 2003-08-23 08:19:00 | ssssss This same problems was posted earlier today. This remedy was given by courtesty of Godfather - When that happens, just look at the URL in the Address bar. It ends with.../en/thanks.asp Delete the last "thanks" appendage and all is fine again. Oxie |

This remedy was given by courtesy of Godfather - When that happens, just look at the URL in the Address bar. It ends with.../en/thanks.asp Delete the last "thanks" appendage and all is fine again.

| 169873 | 2003-08-23 08:44:00 | i may be wrong, but i think there is still a problem with the site. going to v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com one can't use the options. eg 'pick updates to install' |

| 169874 | 2003-08-23 08:48:00 | Use the same principle outlined above. Simply delete everything in the URL after the ..../en/ Or did you not notice the spurious text appended to the url you posted?? (the "page=about.asp") Don't know why its happening, but its not brain surgery to fix. |

| 169875 | 2003-08-23 08:54:00 | no one gets the right page doing that. but the page appears to be faulty. one can't click on the options in it eg 'pick updates to install' | ssssss (2100) | ||
| 169876 | 2003-08-23 08:57:00 | Sorry, but it works just fine for me doing that. I get all the options and have in fact just downloaded 2 critical updates. |

| 169877 | 2003-08-23 08:58:00 | sorry. i'm wrong. it does work thanks | ssssss (2100) | ||
| 169878 | 2003-08-23 11:07:00 | That doesn't always work godfather or wasn't for me last night anyway. Until I edited my hosts file and completely removed the updates component rebooted and went back again. | -=JM=- (16) | ||
