MS update site. . .

by davewolfusa - 2/25/07 10:57 AM

is down?

Just reloaded a friend's PC (Dell) from the recovery CD, installed SP-2, zero glitches. Upon going to the MS update site I get an error message. Same thing on all three of my own networked computers.

I found a thread: Help! I’m having problems with Microsoft Update

have a look here: http://onecare.live.com/site/en-US/article/updateproblems.htm

Maybe you should try: Use the Microsoft Update Troubleshooter

Very strange. . .

It just would not work on any of my networked PCs. So I walked away for a while. About two hours ago I tried again and zip. . . 72 updates needed. Downloaded and installed. All PCs are able to access it. I'll bet one of their servers was down or limping.

Might be your Internet Accelerator

Hi,

I recently went through the same thing. I too, needed 70+ updates. I found that once I turned off my Internet Accelerator (provided by my ISP), that they came streaming in! That's all there was to it. Seems like one of M$'s "solutions" may have mentioned this, too.

I know my Accelerator doesn't always turn on right away when I dial up, so that might be one explanation as to why you were able to get your downloads. Just a thought. Really glad you got them!

Regards, Grannyq
