I cannot set automatic updates on through security centre. It says to setup
through control panel / updates. I set it up there, but no updates come thru.
If i try to connect to microsoft updates then i get errors that MS cannot
update my machine. Any ideas?

Could you please post the error codes you are receiving, then perhaps someone can come up
with some suggestions.

I am also having the samne problem as soon as I go to microsoft websit for
updates, i get the following error message -
Error number: 0x80072F76

And also my system keeps restarting itself every few minutes, last time it
got restarted it gave a VIRTUAL MEMORY TOO LOW error and also the explorer
error- "Windows explorer has encountered a problem and needs to shutdown"
then you click send or don't send button...

Can somebody help please?

Thanks

0x80072F76," or "Error 0x80072F78" error message when you try to use the Windows Update
Web site or the Microsoft Update Web site
