Everytime I go to windows update, click custom, wait for the thing to load, then when it tells me that I have updates, I click on them (whether it be High Priority, Software, or Hardware) it wont load the page, it will just reload windows update inside the frame until it eventually freezes internet exploder..hard to explain..so heres a pic..It's been doing this for a while. I even just formated and put on a fresh copy of XP and I'm still having this problem..any solution?

Yeah I have..it was working fine till I did some more windows updates..I formated and installed XP with SP2 slipstreamed, and i STILL had over 120 updates to add. After they were all done, I went back to windows update and found more updates, then the problem started occuring..

Wow. far out man! :laugh:

That is kind of strange i admit. Try clearing your cache and try again, however if that does not work, let us know and i will see if i can find my old batch file i created which will do a few standard things to your system to try and make it work.

Try this. It may work:

It is an old thing that used to work with Windows updates. I was going to impliment other fixes in to it, but never had time so there are only a few in there now.

It was originally a batch file but i just moved everything in to a script for you.

Its worth a go as these used to and im sure still do fix most windows update errors, but i cant guarantee it.

Let me know if you get any errors with the file and ill take a look.

Thanks Rich, I tried it out but still no luck..This is just plain weird..I dont know why its doing this really. I did figure out a work around though (its weird aswell). If I right click the software, hardware, or priority updates, and click open in a new tab, it wont open it in a new tab, but it will load it correctly..thats screwed up..but I guess I shouldnt expect more from MS..

How do I go about doing that? And like I said, it wasnt always like this..I did the first 100 or so windows updates fine, then there was about 50 more (you'd think they'd come out with SP3 already..) and then thats when it started screwin up..it was probably one of the updates..

I want to know wtf they're packing in these "cumulative" updates for IE7. Today's was 15.50mb and the whole damn IE7 install file is only 14.7mb!

It's easy to find out if you take the time to look.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

      Like the article stated, it's written completely from scratch, unlike the umpteen Chromium clones. It got its start as the browser built-in to the also written-from-scratch SerenityOS.
    • CANT FIND SECURE BOOT ON BIOS

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
