Updates do not download

My windows updates simply will not download, I can
download anything I want from anywhere else on
mircosoft's website, but the windows updates section
simply doesn't download. Well, actually, it downloads at
about the rate of a kB per 5 minutes or so, and I'm on a
stacked T3 school connection. Any ideas?

Hi

Please try this and see if it helps:

Click Start >> Run >>
Type the follow command in the Open box.
"net.exe stop wuauserv" (w/o quotes)
Press Ok

Repeat the same for the following commands:

regsvr32.exe wuapi.dll
regsvr32.exe wups.dll
regsvr32.exe wuaueng.dll
regsvr32.exe wucltui.dll
regsvr32.exe msxml3.dll
net.exe start wuauserv

Then do a reboot.


If you still have a problem:

Please check the following log file for any clues or other error messages:

%windir%\WindowsUpdate.log

(%windir% is typically C:\Windows)

You could also post the last 20-30 lines from the file here.
