Thank you, thank you, thank you, Engel. I was able to download, but not
install windows updates. Followed your advice and the problem is solved!

Hey Engel,
I was in the same position as Dasha, having trouble with installing updates
and I followed your advice to a tee and got success, so all I can say is
"THANK YOU", "Thank You", "Thank you very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Coincidently the last download is the one that solved the problem, for
anyone having similar problems.
Thanks again Engel.
Heres the site again for anyone having trouble:
