re: Question about 'How do I get the Windows Update feature to work?' Saturday, March 12, 2005 at 2:50 am Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Thorshammer (3 messages posted) Sorry KeithT, I thought my post would be linked to a discussion here sime time ago (hence my phoenix reference) regarding a problem with Windows Update not accepting a connection with the message ================================= Thank you for your interest in Windows Update Windows Update is the online extension of Windows that helps you get the most out of your computer. You must be running a Microsoft Windows operating system in order to use Windows Update. =================================== Here's the link to the original discussion to which I refer http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/article04-010 or do a search in this forum on Windows Update and you'll find it easy enough. My issue is that the monitor wakes up every day at 11:00am telling me that MS have a critical update awaiting my attention, would I like to go fetch it now, whether I do it then or later I get the above message. I have tried out everything suggested here, by MS Support and the WU Troubleshooting page at MS. Nothing seems to do the trick, and yes on the 27/28 Feb I downloaded all the patches, new versions of IE, WMP, DirectX etc via Windows Update. tx Thorshammer On Friday, March 11, 2005 at 6:51 pm, KeithT wrote: >You seem to have missed out what the problem actually is. >You say you reintalled Windows & downloaded updates......from >WindowsUpdate presumably? > > > http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/article04-010 Written in response to: re: Question about 'How do I get the Windows Update feature to work?'
