Re: Critical Update

I did understand you to be using Vista, Alice.

Your message, and my response, were on the 'microsoft.public.security'
newsgroup.

There is another Microsoft group dealing with Update problems -
microsoft.public.windowsupdate, to which I am now cross-posting your
enquiry.

I hope this helps!

Dave

0x80244022 = SUS_E_PT_HTTP_STATUS_SERVICE_UNAVAIL
Http status 503 - temporarily overloaded

This error usually means that the Windows Update servers are swamped, Alice.
Assuming Automatic Updates (AU) is enabled, AU should download/install this
update silently and in the background. In fact, it may have already done so
by now. Wait a day or so then try running Windows Update manually again.

If still no joy, reply to this post & thread, please.
