Hi Folks,

I just ran Windowsupdate on my Windows 2000 Professional
PC and it froze half way through. The machine is OK but
my installation history lists three items which failed to
install:

Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1
Microsoft GDI+ Detection Tool (KB873374)
Security update for Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1
(KB833989)

I cannot find any way to try and re-apply these patches.
I have delete WUTEMP and search the registry.

Can you please tell me how I can reset Windowupdate so
these three can be picked up again?

Many thanks

Get the updates from here, Paddy :

Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en

Microsoft GDI+ Detection Tool
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en

Security Update for Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 (KB833989)
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

In order to resolve the issue with Windows Update, open the Windows
Update.log found in the Winnt directory. Scroll down towards the
bottom for the most recent entries and look for an error code
associated with the last failed attempt to access WU. Then go here :
http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/troubleshoot/
and look under " Problem reaching Windows Update " for the specific
error code you located. Try the suggested resolutions. Or, post back
with the error code.
