Windows Update still not working? UPDATE: Problem Solved

[MercenaryForHire]

It was on and off for me for nearly a week now. Sometimes no patches were found, sometimes no server, sometimes the above error screen.

Works just peachy now though.

(Legit XP Pro)

- M4H

 

Now all the MS sites are down for me. Very strange.

I can't update my fresh install of XP. Stays at 0MB of 26.7MB to download.

Run a legit one with a legit cd key

Yep, or it would show something like this.....

Ahhhh, still not working.

 

[deerslayer]

Windows update is working fine for me.

 

[dabuddha]

A lot of times it's because you already have the update installed. I had this same problem and after going through my add/remove programs, I saw that it was installed already.
