Hi,

So my windows updates have been unable to install via the website or
autoupdates. On the update website I checked my log and they have failed to
Download since May 18th, 2005. The update of updater 3.1 is where I have gone
wrong here.

here is the last good update and failed update:
Microsoft Windows Installer 3.1 Failed Wednesday, May 18, 2005 Automatic
Updates
Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - May 2005 (KB890830) Successful
Wednesday, May 11, 2005 Automatic Updates

WHY am I unable to DL these updates? I am not receiving any errors, the
website appears to crash but if you wait 30+ mins it finally notifies you
that "you can not download the updates" but does not say why or give any
error code or error notification.

I hope someone can help me out here, there is most likely nothing abnormal
setup with my machine, I did follow the clear the cash and IE issues that may
have caused this DL issue, but IE is clean and my updator on my computer can
not DL these updates for over a month now.

I have just found a solution that has solved my problem! If you go to this
page
http://v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.co...cleid=11&ln=en
and follow the instructions on deleting the datastore directory contents, it
fixes the problem!

HI,

So that link got me one step closer, but still fails/crashes. Now I received
a EULA (accept or deny the terms of one of the updates disclaimer) I clicked
on accept and again the DL box comes up and nothing happens.

I've virused checked my computer and there is no other additional firewall
or program that should be stopping this to my knowledge. If anyone else has
any ideas or suggestions please let me know. My email is
Thanks

I still can not DL any updates since MAy 18th, 2005.
