| | Vista Sp1 Update Hi I Have Vista SP1 installed for about 8 weeks now ..and have had no problems till 2 days ago. The Vista Update just opens a window but nothing really happens..it never shows what has updated..and what is available for updates. The Little timer just goes round and round..I have let it sit for 4 hours and the same..nothing changed. It cannot be closed except thru task manager which then opens the look for a solution box....never finds one...then proceeds to reset Windows Explorer...Aero shuts down...Screen hiccups for 1/10 of a second...Aero comes back.... The same thing happens with Defender when I try to manually update...it says its searching but even after 3 hours its still searching. I have shut off the ZA Pro Firewall..but that changed nothing.. anybody got any ideas about what is going on and what I could do to troubleshoot/solve this problem?? pk -- DISCLAIMER: If you find a posting or message from me offensive, inappropriate, or disruptive, please ignore it. If you don't know how to ignore a posting, complain to me and I will be only too happy to demonstrate... ;-) |

Turning the ZA firewall off wasn't enough for some reason - it seems there is some residual behavior. What did work was going into ZA and resetting everything to the default settings. Still, before looking at the firewall, I would try doing a system restore, hopefully back to the last time you knew that everything was working. -solon fox |
