730496 2008-12-17 22:57:00 Hi All. Maryann's computer will not do Automatic Updates. It IS set to do so. Updates in the History list show as faile.

Why won't it do Auto Updates.


How do I do them manually. I cannot see how to do it. Thanks PJ

730497 2008-12-17 23:08:00 Pass. It didnt tell me either.

Probably because its an out of band update. Its not a normal update mth (it happened earlier this mth)

You'll have to go to the windowsupdate site and download them

730498 2008-12-17 23:41:00 Perform a manual update as speedy suggests by clicking start, windows update or start, all programs, windows update. GR8Metal (14133)
730499 2008-12-17 23:49:00 Try Dial A Fix (www.softpedia.com) - its designed to fix problems with windows updates - sometimes things get a little muddled with windows.

Tick the double green arrow down the bottom left corner that will select every thing - then press GO - When it finishes , reboot and hopefully all will work.

730501 2008-12-17 23:55:00 I have been into the update site & had it check for updates. Only one. & it consistently refuses to up date.

In Histoty, everything has "Failed" for weeks. Why?

Please tell me how to download them manually. PJ

730502 2008-12-18 00:02:00 Go here (www.microsoft.com)

Click on affected software and windows entries (click on the +)

And the Office suites, if Office is installed

It could be a firewall blocking things, if one is installed

730503 2008-12-18 00:15:00 Also try going to http://update.microsoft.com to do a manual update. jwil1 (65)
