mimeryme Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 hey, i got a new install up and thought the update was messed up, but when i disabled my proxy, it was all good. make sure you aren't using a popup blocker using proxy or anything like that. or at least exclude the microsoft.com domain from going through the proxy.

glockfan Posted June 29, 2002 Share Posted June 29, 2002 here is what i was told: windows update works fine now, and will until sp1 is RTM. at that time, when you go to windows update your PID is collected (READ the new Privacy thing at ms) and then that info collected is compared to make sure you don't have the "blacklisted" key. READ THIS : The following information can be found as Windows Update, and then click on About Windows Update in the left side bar, and then scroll down to Windows Update Privacy Statement. Windows Update Privacy Statement Windows Update is committed to protecting your privacy. To provide you with the appropriate list of updates, Windows Update must collect a certain amount of configuration information from your computer. This information includes: Operating-system version number and Product Identification number Internet Explorer version number Version numbers of other software Plug and Play ID numbers of hardware devices The Product Identification number is collected to confirm that you are running a validly licensed copy of Windows. A validly licensed copy of Windows ensures that you will receive on-going updates from Windows Update. Windows Update does not collect your name, address, e-mail address, or any other form of personally identifiable information. The configuration information collected is used only for the period of time that you are visiting the site, and is not saved. To provide you with the best possible service, Windows Update also tracks and records how many unique machines visit its site and whether the download and installation of specific updates succeeded or failed. In order to do this, Windows generates a Globally Unique Identifier (GUID) that is stored on your computer to uniquely identify it. Windows Update records the GUID of the computer that attempted the download, the ID of the item that you attempted to download and install, and information about your operating system version and Internet Explorer version. Because Windows Update does not collect personally identifiable information, the configuration information and GUID cannot be used to identify you. SO MXXCON i guess the PRIVACY MONGERS better get a move on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
