When I try to run windows update (winXP SP2), all I get is a blank page. IE
displays 'Done', but ....nothing.....
This is the case whether I use the Windows update shortcut, or come through
Microsoft.com.

It may or may not be related, but when I try to run Windows Media Player, I
get an internal error message, and it won't open. I re-downloaded and
installed MP, to no effect.

WP stopped working yesterday, until then, I don't know how long, or if,
Windows Update was working properly.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Look for file WindowsUpdate.log in your C:\Windows folder ( or it may be C:\WINNT on your system).

Use Notepad or Wordpad to open & view contents. Scan down to the very bottom. Copy the set of lines for that last session-date & paste back into a reply in here.

Maurice, I get the same problem as Ed described. When my computer boots I
also get a win32 (iassdo.dll) and logical disk error (dmadmin.exe) pop-ups.
Thanks in advance.

Well, here it is. it's pretty long. There were two log files of identical

begins the next day has four logged events. two start, and two shutdown.
Anyway here is the info:

Look for file WindowsUpdate.log in your C:\Windows folder ( or it may be
C:\WINNT on your system).

Use Notepad or Wordpad to open & view contents. Scan down to the very
bottom. Copy the set of lines for that last session-date & paste back into
a reply in here.

Those problems would give me good pause. I'd suggest fixing those first, before doing anything else.
Make complete text notes of your "error messages" on Windows bootup. Use notes to do research & to post into specific o.s. related newsgroups like windowsxp.general or win2000.general.

Post your problem (with complete text) into one of those groups.

You likely have Windows 2000 or Windows XP. Dmadmin.exe is the Logical Disk Manager Service for NT. Thus seeing a "message" about it should give one good pause. Boot your system into Safe Mode (F8 at startup) and then run CHKDSK from a command prompt.

As to your Windows Update log, I noticed this:
"2005-04-05 21:24:18-0700 3880 9b0 Setting AU scheduled install time to
2005-04-06 10:00:00 "

There's a delayed install for today. Do you remember what your Automatic Updates "settings" are set to?

I do not see an Error noted for April 6. But for an earlier date, there was a 0x80072ee2 "error / exception".

The 72ee2 error translates to Error-Internet-timeout The request has timed out.

Do you have a 3rd-part "anonimizer" program ? or a "popup-ad stopper/remover" ?
Do you have Norton Internet Security?

Make very sure your pc has the correct & current date & local time & timezone. Having incorrect time will give the W U servers/programs a hiccup. (ie, don't have it a day ahead or backdated)

You may get to the windows update site, but yet a setting in IE could be the blocker.
Recheck your Security & Privacy settings AND the ADVANCED settings in I.E.

1. In Internet Explorer> Tools, click Internet Options, and then click Languages....
If this box is empty, add at least one language -- your usual national language.
If you happen to have 2 or more, move English up on this list.

2. Disengage your Discussion Bar in Internet Explorer: Click View on main IE menu.
Point to Explorer Bar. If "Discuss" has a check mark, click Discuss to *remove the check mark* and clear it.
You may note, if the discussion bar is active, it would appear near the bottom of IE window.

3. I. E. Tools >Internet Options > Advanced Tab > (scroll down thru the list)

These are "some" of the items that I do have CHECKed (selected):
Under HTTP 1.1 settings --
Use HTTP 1.1 (ON / Selected)
+ Enable / check to use HTTP 1.1 with proxy servers **** <<----

and under Security :
Clear (un-check) the check box next to "Check for server certificate revocation" . ( *OFF* )

Use SSL 2.0 (ON / selected)
Use SSL 3.0 (ON)

4. Internet Explorer > Tools > Internet Options > Connections Tab
Click on LAN Settings > * Uncheck* the Automatically detect settings.
Make sure _no other_ settings on this screen are enabled.

5. Internet Explorer > main menu /Tools/Internet Options >

Security Tab/ click on green icon Trusted Sites/click Sites button.
Look very closely at line that says: "Require server verification (https for all sites in this zone" to *clear* the selection.
(e.g. You want that to be clear or un-checked (un-ticked)).

In the "Add this Web site to the zone:" field, add these entries to list of "Trusted Sites" --

( *** Sidebar: For Windows XP Service Pack 2 systems, Windows Server systems, substitute v5 for v4 below. ***)


type

http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com

https://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com (with HTTPS)

http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com

http://download.windowsupdate.com

Click OK.
Apply changes, then try Windows Update again.

As a temporary measure, type in or click this HTTPS address
https://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com

And sometimes, just waiting a while, then trying Windows Update from the menus will succeed.

Alright,

I reset time/date from time.microsoft.com
Turned off my pop-up blocker, didn't have an "anonimizer"(great word), or
norton internet security.
Could Ad-aware or the like be having an effect?

My IE settings matched all those you suggested.
I added all of the trusted sites you recommended.


If I type the link directly to https://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com , I
can now get as far as the welcome screen. It comes up and says it's
searching for updates. Then it stays that way for at least an hour until I
give up. This has never taken more than a minute or two before with my cable
connection.

If I try to load from the shortcut in the control panel then it asks me if I
want to go to "trusted site windowsupdate.microsoft.com" I click yes and it
forwards me to the blank screen I had before. (when I open IE through this
method I don't get the address bar. I never noticed if this was the case
before.)

So that's what I know so far. Is there any reason to think that the
"internal" problems with WMP could be related?
Thank you for your help. I feel like I'm taking babysteps, but in the right
direction. Whatever I have to do to avoid re-installing windows is what I'm
willing to do.

Ed, Very quick & short ---- Given that you have XP, you need to use the V5 site, and not the older V4.

Ed,
I've reviewed your log entries, and cannot see an Error notation. Looks clean. It just found no updates for that system.

Yet one more reply. (do see my other 2 replies of 04/07/2005).
Replying in-line.

Lavasoft's Ad-aware should have no effect (imho) on Windows
Update process. If in doubt, turn it off. If you have another
anti-spyware program also running --- I've found that Spy Sweeper
will sometimes interfere at some sites. Again, if in doubt,
temporarily close them.
Now then, if you think the pc is infested, then do a cleanup
sequence before even trying Windows Update.

Given you have XP, you must use the V5 site. Go back in IE
browser Trusted list, modify the V4 to V5.

Make changes as noted earlier, then see if results are different.
But then also, make a list of your startup programs, and let us
know what else was running on this pc when you went to Windows
Update.

Re-installing Windows is a measure of very last resort ! You are very far from "having" to do it.

On WMP, you're better off posting into Media Player related group. Go to group at
microsoft.public.windowsmedia.player

Also, see Windows Media Player FAQ at
