Problems with Windows Update. Is it just me?

[BoomAM]

Hi,
Ive been trying since last night to Download and install the below updates, but they wont update, sometimes they will fully download then say that theirs a error, sometimes will half download and then say there an error. Whats up. Are the MS servers busy or something?

816093: Security Update for Microsoft Virtual Machine <--- What is this anyway?
Microsoft .net framwork v1.1

I installed that update on two of my computers yesterday, all I can think of is try disabling anti-virus and other non-essential programs while it`s downloading and trying to install.

had that problem but eventually D/loaded it manually via the windows update catalog!

Although I did not have any problems downloading the updates you speak of, I do know recently (twice in the last 2 months) MS servers may be overloaded or having maintenence being done on them. I build computers on the side and had trouble updating Windows files a couple of times. Tried back the next day and went flawless. Good luck!

if this doesnt work out, try running a registry cleaner such as Fix It.
i used it when i encountered a similar problem.
broken links could make update problems
