Hi,

I'm running on WinXP x64 SP2 and have installed all available updates (+ie7,
mp11).

Now when I start windowsupdate over Tools->Windows Update, the following
site is opened:
http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/de/default.asp
The search for update is quitted by an fault (no description).

Normally, the following page should be opened:
http://www.update.microsoft.com/wind...t.aspx%3Fln=de


Can anybody help me???

Start a free Windows Update support incident request:
https://support.microsoft.com/oas/de...spx?gprid=6527

Support for Windows Update:
http://support.microsoft.com/gp/wusupport

Customers in the U.S. and Canada can receive technical support from
Microsoft Product Support Services at 1-866-PCSAFETY. There is no-charge for
support calls that are associated with security updates. When you call,
clearly state that your problem is related to a Security Update and cite the
update's KB number (e.g., KB931678).

In other countries, see
http://support.microsoft.com/default...r=securityhome > "No-Charge
Support...for virus and other security-related" issues in right-hand menu
for localized contact information.

For more information about how to contact Microsoft for support issues,
visit the International Support Web site:
https://support.microsoft.com/common/international.aspx

Tip: Temporarily disable real-time protection by your anti-virus and/or
anti-spyware applications (e.g., CounterSpy, Spysweeper, Spybot, AVG
Anti-Spyware) and/or any third-party firewall (e.g., ZA) before attempting
to install the update(s). [Make certain the Windows Firewall *is* enabled.]

This just happened to me, too, after loading all updates.

What is the User-Agent involved? (E.g. use Fiddler2.)
Perhaps there is something confusing about it which makes WU
assume it is the least capable browser?

Try using a User-Agent spoof? (e.g. ref. KB923196)

Cross-posting to a 64-bit NG in case this is already a known issue.


Good luck
