| | Important updates Good evening all, I am being asked to download the same important updates all the time. They get downloaded, I reboot and then the same Updates are available for download. I think I have downloaded the same downloaded half a dozen time, hoping this would fix itself...and it does not. Any ideas |

| | Re: Important updates Thanks for the reply DL, Unfortunatly, I am not getting any errors or failure messages. This is the stranges thing to me...I am being advised that the download was successful and nothing more. But yet, next time I turn the computer on, It asks me to download them again.

| | Re: Important updates Perhaps this will help (or confuse even more): http://support.microsoft.com/kb/906602 There is an interesting note in the article for advanced users: "Note By default, the Windows Update or Microsoft Update Web site will suppress all errors. Examine the log file, or install the update from the Microsoft Download Center to see whether an error occurred." I'm not sure what that means since I'm sure I've had some updates labled "failed" when I was updating Win98. <Denis@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:56DA10A2-9902-40C5-AB32-A3B23A2BBBDD@xxxxxx Quote: > Thanks for the reply DL, > > Unfortunatly, I am not getting any errors or failure messages. > > This is the stranges thing to me...I am being advised that the download > was > successful and nothing more.

| | Re: Important updates Good evening C.B. No I am not...I am using a Firewall/virus scanner from my service provider. (Sympatico) (here in Canada) Do you think this could be related?
