Hi all, obviously I really need your help and thats why my brother suggested I come here.
My problem is that Windows/Microsoft updates have stopped working completely even when I try to do it manually.
I am still using Windows XP, I also use Spyware Doctor with Anti Virus and Uniblue SpeedUpMyPC 3.
Up until about 2 months ago I have had no problems with everything working together in harmony and apart from the updates, everything seems to be still working great.
Then one day I notice that the yellow shied icon for Updates is in the bottom right corner of the screen (as usual) but is not downloading, its just sitting there saying "downloading 0% and will do that for hours, sometimes it will stay there until I restart my PC (which is every 3 to 4 days).
I have tried everything I can think of and nothing will work (but I am no expert).
Can someone please give me some advice on what to do because as of today I have 48 updates waiting to be installed.
I hope I have been clear enough, if not ask me anything you need to know.
I had this same problem a few months ago. Usually you get the file for your update that microsoft sends you, not all the time. I could not figure out the problem either, and then it finally quit doing it, but i did change auto updates to do not install automatically, i will decide. That may have been what kicked that problem, may not have, but that icon problem with 0% went away.
