If you are running any third-party firewalls, anti-virus, anti-spyware or
anti-anything product, then please disable them all before using Windows
Update. Use Windows Firewall for your protection.
If you have a home router, please disable any firewall features therein,
especially any features designed to prevent ActiveX downloads.
If you are behind a corporate or ISP firewall that obliges you to use web
proxy settings, please say so. Open a command prompt window, and enter the
command:
proxycfg
Report back what the last line of output says (e.g. "Direct access (no proxy
server).")
