Re: audio and video setup freezes windows live messenger

Is Automatic Updates enabled?

Can you do the following successfully?...

1. Go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com;

2. Install any required Windows Update-related software, if offered, then
click CONTINUE;

3. Select CUSTOM and scan;

4. Select & install any critical security updates offered; follow all
prompts.

NB: I would not recommend installing IE7 via Windows Update if it's not
already installed. If IE7 is already installed, look for a Root
Certificates update in Optional category; if it's available, install it to
take full advantage of IE7's enhanced security. (Root Certificates updates
are not offered via Automatic Updates, for some unfathomable reason.)
