Guest Dclanz Posted January 31, 2002 Share Posted January 31, 2002 I got that last night after i reformatted and went to update. It told me the windows update site had been upgraded and I had to download the updates which I did twice because it failed on the 1st try. Everything's running smoothly now....maybe you need to try it again.:knocked: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurting101 Posted January 31, 2002 Share Posted January 31, 2002 I reformatted last night then tried WIndows Update and it wasn't downloading, just stayed at 0kb. Then I shutdown, booted, and it worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linglok Posted February 1, 2002 Share Posted February 1, 2002 i dont' have any problems using windows update, but i did notice that the download speed is much slower than usual. any one notice that also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardbag Posted February 1, 2002 Share Posted February 1, 2002 ...still can`t access. There`s a help document at Windows Update FAQ (or help) but i cant even access that. The headline was "Why do I get a Cannot Display Page error message when accessing the Windows Update Web site?" http://support.microsoft.com/support/windo...=0&A=T&T=B&S=F& So, could someone check that and post it in here.

Keldyn Posted February 1, 2002 Share Posted February 1, 2002 Updates fail occassionally for me but problem is, once they fail.. they always do. Retrying always results in the same error. This seems to happen mostly with critical updates and driver upgrades. There are a couple of drivers, namely those for my network adapters and one for the via media driver ( or something ) that seem to lock up the machine when installing. Once this completely screwed the system. No matter what i did, i could not boot back into windows. Nothing, save a format would work. I'm beginning to think that, atleast for now... Windows Update is more trouble than it is worth. i am especially dubious now about installing any driver updates on offer. :ermm: :( Greetz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
