WU Icon in Tray

The WU icon has been in my tray for two days. When I run my mouse over it, it
still says 0% downloaded. I am on a dial up. Does that make any difference?
Is anyone else having this issue?

Thanks,
Paul

Given that dialup is very low speed, it will take the longest time.

Use Notepad or Wordpad and take a look at
C:\Windows\Windows Update.log (with a space if on v4 of Windows Update; no space if on V5)

Scan down to the bottom. Review contents. Copy and paste back in reply "significant portions" for last session.

Did you configure auto-update to only notify you that there
are updates, or to automatically download the update? There
are several options. If you are dialup, the computer must
be able to connect for update to work [computer ON, and
dialup connection established] Broadband users must have
the computer ON and their connection available.
The line waiting is long, WU gets you in line and schedules
when you will get your download, if you are off line at that
time, you'll have to start over again in line.
