I have had that same issue. Check to see if your BITS Service is on. I had mine disabled. It didn't like that. Try enabling the BITS service, then try again. I have Automatic Updates disabled now, and I can update manually.

Redirected to the v5 version. I was asked to install the new Windows Update software...downloaded the WU software...copied the files...then saw registering...kinda thinking that it was checking for a valid registration or license. No updates needed according to WU. XP SP2 is not available via WU for XP Pro yet. Now, I checked the Automatic Update service to see if it was turned back start automatic as I always have it disabled. Yup, it was set to automatic and it was started. I stop and disable automatic update service, and try WU. Get error stating that the automatic update service must be enable to use WU now. Has anybody else head of this? Once again, we must have services that we do not want enable. I can not believe that they are forcing user to turn on the service to use WU. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
