Windows Update Download Dialog Box

After I Click Download on all updates the Update Dialog Box appears when its
downloading it doesn't tell me how many MB it has download this happens on
all 3 other computers. The only one to show how many MB or KB's left is the
Microsoft Malicious Removal Tool.

Before Now it would display how many MB it has Download but not now

Which version of Windows is installed on the PCs ?
Are they networked ?

The more information you provide the faster someone can assist you.

I forgot the most important question ... * do the updates install * ?

As far as the WU dialogue box not showing the size of the download ...
I really don't know. Could be a number of 'things' that are causing that
behavior.
Try this ... download the latest version of the Windows Update Agent :
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=91237

Install it on all of the systems with no browser nor programs open.
If it were my network, I'd shut down everything for one minute and then
restart in this order ... broadband modem, router, PCs [boot the PC that
setup the network first] YMMV

Did that 'fix' the lack of dialogue ?

Updates do install

does the Windows Update Agent work with Microsoft Windows Update?

They are the core system update files and work with both Windows and
Microsoft Update sites.
