Win Xp Pro Critical Updates Failing To Install

[kennyboy]

Me again.

Yes, think Corp might be a bit of a strain on the system here. Am downloading tonight at 49B/sec.....hahaha.is that bytes or Bits? Whatever, it is incredibly slow. Have waited about 50minutes for this page to load. Don't know why I bother really.!!

Anyway, Many thanks again. Can't get WU tonight. Just won't connect, so will uninstall the update and then in the morning early, will download again.

LTJ. Tried to open that link you kindly gave me, but it is hopeless tonight. Will try again tomorrow.

Will report back, and again, really appreciate everybodys time and help.

PS. Down to 21B/s now. Even ISDN looks good now.....hahaa.....I wish!

Hi Guys.

Well, EVENTUALLY managed to download the IE6 update, and WU reports that it installed ok. Only thing is that Add/Remove shows it, but doesn't list any size. Assume it is ok anyway. That means the last of the updates is now installed, and has only taken me about 3 weeks to install...hahaha.

The Internet here went down for 3 DAYS last week, due to a ...."broken cable"
What can you say! Anyway, many thanks for all the help. Really good to know that when someone is in trouble, that they can rely on good advice from this forum.

Again, many thanks to all.

Regards

Kenny.

Wow, that is some amazingly slow net access you have there , kennyboy...

Now I've read this, I swear I will never cuss out my 56K modem for slow DLs ever again.

Glad you got it sorted Kenny. Don't worry about the size not being listed, that's normal.

[kennyboy]

Yes, I too long for a "normal 56k connection, but it just isn't available here.

Just like to say that I do share my files, but let's face it, who would want to download anything from me at these speeds......hahaha...

Never mind, it's the thought that counts.

Regards

Kenny

I have disabled XP from updating. It runs much smoother without ne updates.

That really is not a good idea.
