I have a question about Downloading
Windows Updates:
I have installed Win XP. My Automatic Windows UPdate works well, but when I try to
Update Manually it freezes up during the scan for updates part at 0 % and never moves
on from there. I had found the solution to this problem a while ago, by changing
a setting but for the life of me I can't remember what I did. Can anyone help? Has
anyone else had this problem.? Please post and/or email me at djjt.bolton@cogeco.ca.
Thank you.

Have allowed cookies to be accepted on your PC. Also check IE's security settings
and lower the internet setting, but be sure to reset to medium once you have the
update.
PS- seems to me XP acts a bit differt on each PC. Come to understand your PC personality.

Hi,
If It Hangs At 0% Try Going To Control Panel, Network, Under The Configuration Tab,
Scroll Down To The TCP/IP Listing For Either The "Dial-Up Adapter" Or Your Network
Card (If Your Doing Ethernet For DSL, etc), And Double Click On It (Click On The
OK). Click On The "DNS Configuration" Tab. Select The Enable DNS Radio Button. In
The Host Window Type In Your Login User Name. Just The Name, Do NOT Add The @ Sign
And Whatever Follows It, If Used. Then In The "Domain Name" Window Type In The Name
Of Your ISP (xyznet.net, Or abcxyz.com, etc.). Click All Of The OK's And When Ask
If You Want To Restart Answer NO, Then Restart Your Machine Manually Using "Start",
"Shutdown", etc. After The Machine Restarts Try Your Updates Again. Should Work!
Did For Me.

I have windows xp professional on my system. My windows update have been working
fine untill recently. I mistakenly turned it off and later when I tried to activate
it again it hangs. This is what it does now anytime I tried to open it. Furthermore,
since then any time I update my antivirus on the Internet the update refuse to work
on the system.
Anyone else had this problem? Please email me Thank you.
