Windows Update

I can't get windows update to download, it just sits there. I think it may be because the EULA dosent pop up, but i dont know why its not.

if you are using a firewall (and you should be ).....
try disabling it to connect to windows update
thats what i have had to lately, dont ask why, cause i dont know
i never had to do that before, and i am still using the same firewall,
with the same security settings, but now windows update wont let me on with the f/w running

You might consider trying this...

Go to Start>Run and enter services.msc.
Check and see that "Cryptographic Services" is enabled and started.

Windows Update needs this process in order to work.

I could do it just with IE

could try checking to make sure the time is set to the right date...

i once had the time on my old computer set to 2001 instead of 2003 (this was last year) so that I could get unlimited updates for the antivirus program I was using (cant remember which one right now).

edit: forgot to say, and this caused windows update to not download any updates.
