Just in the last day since your first message, I've found another couple of machines that had difficulty connecting to MS' new updater service. I've been able to get it done, but sometimes I've had to refresh the screen a couple of times, and/or restart IE.
Blessed thing used to work pretty well, I fear now MS has bleeped it up. David -----Original Message----- From: Linger, Kenneth E.

We are running Norton AV and this server did have it installed. I even went one step further and uninstall Norton AV and disabled all non-essential services just to make sure it wasn't something else blocking the download. Your message gave me hope but, alas, its still the same.

Once I disabled Norton, had no problem. You might check whether there's some AV program running. David -----Original Message----- From: Linger, Kenneth E. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, June 19, 2002 11:36 AM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: New Windows Updater Won't Update The new version of Windows Update for Windows 2000 works great of all of my 100-some PCs: laptops, desktop, and servers running Windows 2000 Professional and Windows 2000 server. However, I have one server (Windows 2000 Server SP2) that scans fine and lets you select the updates to install but fails to even download one byte of data after clicking past all of the legal agreements. In other words, I can get to the Windows update site. The first scan installed the updated Microsoft components for the next scanner. The system completes the scan and shows updates in each category (critical, non-critical, and drivers), let's you select any or all of the components to be added to the download. It lets you confirm your selections, asks you to agree to various legal agreements, and then presents you with the download window with the two bars indicating the current file and the total progress. Both remain at 0 even if you wait overnight. I've even tried installing each item one by one to see if there was a single item that was holding everything up. No luck. Any ideas? Everything else seems to work on this server, including Internet and intranet access, file downloading from FTP and WWW sites, etc. I'm at a loss so any help would be appreciated.
