Checking for the latest version of the Windows Update software...

Depending on your connection speed, this might take a minute. During this
time, you may receive one or more security warnings. Review each security
warning to ensure that the content is signed by Microsoft, and then click
Install or Yes to install the software.



thats it, usually there are updates to download and install, but its blank,
its finished loading page and i am using IE6, also my automatic updates tray
icon is gone, also when im in control panel and double click on the automatic
updates icon, it takes 5mins to show, its on "alert me when there are new
updates to download and install" (or something like that)

also

in my "add and remove programs", i only have two updates, i use to have
heaps, here are the ones i have atm:

Windows XP Hotfix - KB823980
Windows XP Hotfix - (SP2) [see q330638 for more information]

the funny thing is i dont have SP2, if did i would have that security cetre
thing
anyway i cant get my updates, some1 plz help

"albertababe",

Please provide more information and I will be happy to look at it. You
replied to my post on how to do that by asking me for the solution, when you
have not provided what I need to look at it. Here is the procedure:

1. Retry to access Windows Update and try to install just one update. Wait
to do this until the system clock moves forward to the next minute.
2. Memorize the exact time of this attempt.
3. Reply back to this post and enter that time at the top of the posting.
4. Assuming the attempt fails, please open the WindowsUpdate.log and tell us
what error you hit:
a. Click Start
b. Click Run
c. Type or copy: %windir%\windowsupdate.log
d. Type the <Enter> key or click OK
e. After the log opens, move down to the bottom of the log by typing
<CTRL>
and the <End> keys.
f. Move up the log to the time you memorized earlier as the beginning of
the
attempt.
g. Select the beginning of the line for that time entry, and select
everything below it to the end of the log by clicking and dragging down
and to the right.
h. Press <CTRL> and then <C> key for copy.
i. Reply to this posting within the group.
j. After the window opens, Press <CTRL> and then <V> to paste the log
entries into the posting.
k. Tell us, at the top of the post, which download you attempted to
install.
l. Post the reply with the log entries.

Sincerely,

Pat Walters [MSFT]
