| 494437 | 2006-10-26 06:13:00 | I have windows XP Professional and office 2003 installed. Why does microsoft ask me to download up dates and then won't let me download them? | Siobhan (6842) | ||
| 494438 | 2006-10-26 06:21:00 | Did u go here (update.microsoft.com) Whats it say when u try and download (or install) the updates? Or are u downloading them from within the update window / option that appears on the taskbar? |

| 494439 | 2006-10-26 07:59:00 | Iwent to "here" and it checked for up-dates and nothing happened. I don't have the exact entry but it said it could not download the up-dates. Or are u downloading them from within the update window / option that appears on the taskbar? Yes. |

| 494440 | 2006-10-26 08:16:00 | And when u clicked on here, were u using IE? Not Opera or Firefox? If u were using IE and u havent been to Windowsupdate till now, did a message appear in IE's menu, saying click on this to download an activex component or something? So when u went to the Windowsupdate site, the updates did appear after u checked for updates? And thats when it said you cant download the updates?? Or did it stop while it was checking for updates, and say you cant download the updates? |

Look, if MS won't let you have them, it is for sound (to MS) reasons. Or not. The mighty $$ Bill Gates is omnipotent. Yeah, right. :badpc: |

Then, after a while, up came the message "Updates were unable to be successfully installed" |
