do you have Auto Update Service turn on, disabled??? Windows online update
will not work if this is put into the disabled setting. Not sure about
manuel settings. Had this problem when I was running beta version...
If this is the answer to your problem, the answer is out there. Or, I
wouldn't know... Try blackviper's website for more answers on services on
Windows XP. May of been where I was able to get the online update to work.
Also, I know you must have correct time set on system, clear your internet
cache... Been a long time for me to experience your problem, but I am sure
one of these will help.
PS: I liked the :Subject: F IT!!! I GIVE UP!! I GUESS I WON'T GET UPDATES
THEN HUH? SP2? SEC: header. Or, I would of never took the time to fill this
out... lol
Good Luck
