Anything specific like errors in the WU Log?

How to read the Windowsupdate.log file:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/902093

xposted to the WU NG for convenience

Yes, I had the same problem. How I succeded to work around: The updates
download to
"C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\Download\25133446 251ef6ecfe0d65bcbaffa62a\update\update.exe"
Just run update.exe! That's it.

Greetings

TaurArian and Gorade I would like to thank you for the help but the problem
is surely overcame. In fact my PC is "dead" yesterday evening, suddenly it is
turned off and now will not turn over. I suspect the problem it is caused by
power adapter...... what a pity I was fond to my old PC (Pentium 4 Windows
2000.)
