Conan Posted January 12, 2002 Share Posted January 12, 2002 Has anyone had any difficulty accessing the Windows Update for XP? (using XP Corporate Version) The active-X installs, then scans for updates but after choosing them they don't download. Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the advice, that's exactly what I did. I got a new PC and formatted, installed XP, and manually searched for those updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nothingnoise Posted January 13, 2002 Share Posted January 13, 2002 i got the same problem just scans for updates but never downloads..but you dont need to worry.. i think problems caused by microsoft update server and it ll be alright in a few days..you can manually seach and pick updates one by one from download seach but i cant find all the updates that automatic update found..best way is wait for a few days..

Conan Posted January 13, 2002 Author Share Posted January 13, 2002 Ya I hope in a couple of days it will be fine. I was starting to think that Microsoft was blocking out XP Corporate users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had some fixes stored on my drive though from earlier visits to the corporate update site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conan Posted January 14, 2002 Author Share Posted January 14, 2002 Well I tried windows update again earlier and I was able to get some driver updates but there were no XP updates listed. They're probably doing some maintenance on the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Posted January 14, 2002 Share Posted January 14, 2002 The reason windows update is causing problems is because the site address has been changed,but xp still points you to the old address.There are instructions on how to rectify the problem here;http://www.neowin.net/bboard/showthread.ph...&threadid=10441Read the post by "DrZoidberg".His solution worked for me.

robpolding Posted January 14, 2002 Share Posted January 14, 2002 Having exactly the same problem with my edition of Corp (with a valid and new licence), MS seem to be somehow stopping the install.Updates seem to download but not install, very annoying to say the least.:mad: :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
