Question about 'Downloading Windows Updates'

I have a P3 1000 with 256 DDR Ram, 3500 voodoo video card running ME. I tried to
download an update, but it didn't finish installing. I tried to resume and restart
installation, but neither worked.
Since then my system resources seem to used up a lot quicker, and some internet pages
won't load. I get an installation upon demand box followed by a installation failed
please choose windows update under the tools menu later message. This comes up at
quite a lot o pages, and I wouldn't care if I could just go to the windows update
page, but it will not load at all. Hotmail has this too, but it will work after
clicking OK. Lots of other pages won't work at all.
Any help would be apreciated thank you all
sorry if this posted twice, i don't know what i hit and had to retype this... sorry
again

It would help if you bothered to tell us what program failed to install from Windows
Update. If it was IE 6, then this can cause major problems and takes a lot of work
to clear. Other wise: Go to your C: drives "Program Files" folder, and look
for the folder Windows Update. It is a hidden folder, so you may have to click Tools,
Folder Options, View, and select the "Show hidden files and folders" button to see
it. Select the Windows Update folder and Delete it. Once deleted, reboot system
and try going to the Windows Update site again and down loading updates.

I am terribly sorry about the lack of vital info there. You want to know if it was
a patch for IE6 or the full version? I am looking at what I wrote down (on real paper)
and supposidly I downloaded Q321232: Security Update AND Microsoft Internet Explorer
6 . Does this help? I really have no idea what happened, is there some way for
me check in my computer somewhere for the records? Could it be a problem with javascript?
Thank you again very much

Nope, it didn't help a thing, I found the file with no problem though. So, what
do we do now? Please help me if you have any clues, I would appreciate it very much.
Thank-you in advance!

Hi, I am trying to install the latest security patch and updates for outlook express
6.0. The update downloads ok from the microsoft website but stalls half way into
installing onto my system. I have the windows me system and have tried deleting the
windows update folder but have found no improvement.
Any ideas please
