re: WinSock & Firewall problems upon auto-update Tuesday, April 25, 2006 at 5:55 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by adrian (804 messages posted) Microsoft has promised to release today a fix for the bad updates. Download the .exe file and run it locally. Your problem may go away. My suggestion in the last post was based on personal experience: I had a problem with an update last month. Upon rebooting it told me that the update failed, and it would not run again from the update site. After that I had to delete all temp files, a lot of system log files, and reboot several times before the .exe ran successfully.
