Problem: Update Window inside Update Window

Trying to run Microsoft Update on my WinXP Pro SP2 machine. I chose Custom
after the update is loaded. Now, after the list of updates come up. If I
click on the side on the Optional Updates to check out what are there (shows
4).

Now the problem, after clicking on that, it seems that the home page for the
Microsoft Update is being loaded again within the inner frame of the update
window. So it has the Update options loaded up on the left side, and inside
another MU is being loaded in this frame. Clicking on either Express/Custom
buttons again will eventually hang the browser window.

Choosing any options that tried to check the installation options will end
up loading MU inside the MU window.

Has any one else had this problem?

I am having the same problem. I've tried using Windows Update and Microsoft
Update and the same thing happens in both. I'm currently haveing this
problem in two of my systems. One running Media Center 2005 and the other
running Server 2003.

Could someone please hellp us out?

I searched throuth and found the answer to the problem. It's caused by
BitComet.

JBMacGill, you obviously did a more thorough research than I did. Thank you
so much for that! It really was BC that was causing the problem, once that
BHO was disabled, MU was working like normal again (though the none of the 4
optional updates interested me....). Hopefully BC addresses this problem in
their future updates.

Thanks again!
