re: Windows Update Friday, March 30, 2007 at 2:30 pm Windows Me Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by sean97 (44 messages posted) UPDATE: After my original post, I played some more with the Start Menu update link, and in the space of an hour it failed at least 6 different times with the bogus MAC message. And sometimes, clearing temp files and cookies, wouldn't fix it. So I don't know exactly what's going on. Just that if I play with it, trying the update link, trying the M'soft site link, eventually I will get the correct response from the update site.
