Apparently, nightly, my computer has been trying to download a certain
update without success. The error message is 0x66A and the particular
update is:

Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework, Version 1.1 Service Pack 1
(KB886903)

Any idea as to what the problem might be?

Thanks!
Dean

Where are you seeing this error, Dean ?
Suggest you download and *save* the update from:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...C-1A0DC2273FF9

If you have trouble installing it, see:

As dutifully instructed, I went to the windows update site and had it show
me all the attempted updates to my computer, over near the top left.

I noticed that, night after night, it was trying to install the same update.
Beside each attempt was a little failure icon and when I clicked on it, I
got the 0x66A message.

Thanks, Mow!
