The message I get when I check for updates is.. To check for updates, you first must install an update, for windows update.. Then it tries to install the update, then I get the error message 800736cc..??? and cannot install??.. I am lost?.. I have had not this problem in the past??.. Windows is set to recieve updates daily.. Maybe my copy is pirated?:confused:
