Windowsupdate buggy as !!!

[xtreme2k]

I ran Windowsupdate for XP, it crashed after it downloaded the patches and before it installed the one of them. Now, Windowsupdate knows I 'FAILED' to installed them, and yet, I CANNOT re-download them because they are now 'hidden' from me.

in that case try here for your updates! 🙂

It isnt there.

I am looking for the AMD K7 Processor - V. 5.1.2535.0 patch, which is NOT in the corp site.

look! <- see, all my last installation FAILED, and yet, 0 on the left hand side in the Critical updates and the Drivers

There was a problem with the windowsupdate server. Read about it here.

It should be fixed soon...

 

[xtreme2k]

I dont think it is the server tho, because I was seeing that AMD patch 5 minutes ago.

Now it is gone because it 'thinks' i have installed it while I actually FAILEd at installing it.

It is clearly another damn bug created by M$ as usual.

Did you select the 'show installed updates'. That should list the updates Windows thinks you already have installed and let you reselect it.

How do you like the internet as a service! 😀

As bsobel said, or try deleting your temp files.

JellyBaby...what is the phone number to Internet, its time for a call 😉

You have already been told that there is a known problem with the WinXP Windows Update site. It's not a bug, it's an aknowledged temporary problem. Let's not blame MS for everything, ok?

Well in all fairness WindowsUpdate up until now had a history of being available and usually pretty fast. At least when I visited. But the nature of the net and MS software in general makes the whole .NET thing look pretty scarey. 🙂

Sure, Bill. No problem

If it is not a bug what is it? A "feature"? A "virus"? If this is a problem with one of Microsoft's services it is Microsoft's fault. Duh.

Funny Microsoft related link!! 😀

And let's not blame them for the complete lack of security, bugs, and instability of their os.

Lets blame me for my overclocked PC that is unstable enough to run M$ WinXP patches becaused it crashed mid-way of installing them.

Only that my comp can run Prime95/3dmark2001/q3 for days...
