* Scan for updates freezes or stops at 0%
================================================== ===========================
Install the latest scripting engine 5.6 from:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ist/webdev.asp
================================================== ===========================
If you have not installed the latest version of Windows Update software,
follow the instructions in the article "Manual installation
instructions for Windows Update controls" on this page.
================================================== ===========================
Disable the options "Automatically detect settings" and "Use automatic
configuration script."
To do this:
1. Open Internet Explorer.
2. Click "Tools," and then click "Internet Options."
3. Click "Connections," and then click "LAN Settings."
4. Make sure the check boxes for "Automatically detect settings" and
"Use automatic configuration script" are not selected.
Try to access the Windows Update site again.
Also, verify that you can connect to SSL-enabled Web sites (sites that
start with
https://).
Most online retailers use SSL (Secure Socket Layer) sites during the
checkout/payment process. If you've connected to one of these sites in
the past then chances are that SSL is working correctly on your
computer. You can also test your ability to connect to SSL sites using
a SSL test site like this:

If you cannot connect to SSL sites then the Windows Update scan will not
work. Make sure that the SSL port (port 443) is open on your network.
