I have tried all the options.
I was unable to turn off automatic update settings it just said stopping for two and a half hours. I couldn,t rename the software distribution folder. Said, Can,t rename access denied. Check disk not full or write protected file in use. When I re registered the files, I was prompted to search the net and taken to windows file association, but not asked to download anything. Everything else went smoothly. Unfortunately the problem remains unchanged.

Just a thought, I am running NOD32. Could this have anything to do with it?

I don,t get any errors, the green scroll bar just scrolls for days.
I first rang MS support September 2005 (have all the emails), 3 hr call, couldn,t fix it. Passed on to MS 2Research engineer", one hour call no joy. Re installed operating system, still same problem. It,s now November 2006.

Another thought/guess:
If you use AOL. Try minimising the AOL browser (once connected) and then open Internet Explorer and visit Windows Update!
