Can't get 'more info' for updates

Ever since I updated to Windows Update V6, I can no longer click on the 'More
Info' link to get details on the particular update. The 'More Info' shows up
as a link, but clicking on it does nothing. The status bar at the bottom of
the IE window shows "http://update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate/v6/" which
appears to indicate that the link is pointing to the current page instead of
the link to the new page.

Also, when the history list of applications status column shows a failed
update, indicated by a red X, the top of the page states "If an update failed
to install, click the Failed icon to learn how to solve the problem."
However clicking on the red X does nothing (as above), and again the status
bar at the bottom of the IE window shows
"http://update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate/v6/".

Has anyone encountered this problem or have a fix?

I have the same exact problem. I am encountering an office 2003 failure and
I cannot see the reason for the failure. I tried to look at the details of
the update and clicking does nothing. I am running windows xp home edition.

Here's an example of why I wish it was not possible for users to mark
an opening post as Helpful. The OP asked the same question in another
thread and got an answer but that thread was not marked Helpful so it was
aged out of the web interface's cache.

In order to see that other thread you now have to go to Google Groups
and search there:

http://groups.google.com/group/micro...e7e54a41a2ba49

(Google Groups search for
author:bpa_retired group:microsoft.*.windowsupdate
)


So, are you using a popup blocker too? <eg>
