Install now button

Hi,
I have a strange problem with Windowsupdate. My system is
running Windows 2000 Pro SP4 with IE 6.0 SP1. I can open
windowsupdate.microsoft.com, I can click the "Scan for
updates" link and I can see the patches I need to apply.
However, if I click on the "Install now" button nothing
happens. The system doesn't hang, I can browse back and
forth but the "Install now" button is unresponsive.

I read the general FAQ but it didn't help. I tried to
install the new Windows Scripting Host for Windows 2000
(version 5.6) but it didn't help.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Keep clicking that will help to a degree...and keep go back....The button works, IE have just stalled for the moment....long moment

No, the button doesn't work... I waited for almost 20
minutes and nothing happens.

Hi Kaylene,
unfortunately it still doesn't work. I followed the
instructions in the Troubleshooting page as well as the KB
article, but it didn't help.
This is really weird...

Hi Jess, perhaps we should look at something else, perhaps there is something
interferring with the download etc

Hello,

Access our troubleshooter page here:

Look for this title:

Download stops or freezes. The Windows Update - Web Page Dialog window
appears but download never starts.
