Hello All
I have a Vista 32 bit Windows, a box keeps 'popping' up saying 'Windows cant update check for problems', i havent a clue what to look for to cure this problem.

Maybe someone can help.

Thanks

Try a clean boot http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135. If the problem goes away then it's just a matter of tracking down the culprit causing the problem. Follow the procedures in the article. Once found, delete, remove, deactivate, or uninstall it. Once done be sure to reset Vista back to normal status as explained in the procedures. If the problem occurs in clean mode then just restore the system to normal status and reboot - this solution is not going to work.

I hope this helps. If not, post back and we'll look deeper into the problem. What version of Vista are you using?

Good luck!
