stutters May 22, 2006 Share stutters GC Alumni May 22, 2006 just for giggles (or jiggles): in internet explorer: tools -> internet options. delete cookes + delete files (do both). start -> control panel switch to classic view click automatic updates. turn it to off/disable open IE tools -> windows update if that doesn't work, pat your tummy while rubbing your head (and getting me a burrito).

Cobalt May 24, 2006 Share Cobalt Member May 24, 2006 Uninstall and reinstall IE. Try going into the Windows Security Center and enabling automatic updates and see if that works. If none of that works you probably need a clean install of XP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjester May 24, 2006 Share benjester Member May 24, 2006 otherwise, once the first screen loads, try opting for the Microsoft Update... different then windows update. I had the same problem on a server this week... jsut switched it to Microsoft Update (updates office and windows) and it worked fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DNA May 24, 2006 Author Share DNA Member May 24, 2006 OKAY GOT IT....show it was sooooo out of date it took for ever to get the first update..I let the screen sit there for like 20 minutes and it did the update, and then finally did the others and then SP2...and then DirectX, and now I am done. TY all for the help.... I have one last issue... I had one program that was on my other drive and one the new computer I put only the one drive in, and sooo now it wants to install it everytime i load or turn on the computer, and then it can not find it. I tried to uninstall it, but that does not work. How do I go about making windows not think it is there anymore in the config or something. It will not even let me reinstall it, saying missing come file..?? Help?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobalt May 25, 2006 Share Cobalt Member May 25, 2006 Try this on for size...sucka! START > RUN > msconfig Change it to "Selective Startup" on the first tab Switch to "Startup" tab and then disable everything you don't need and that one program in particular. It is a good way to prevent unnecessary things from loading at startup as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest zerodamage May 25, 2006 Share Guest zerodamage Guests May 25, 2006 How about a 3rd party alternative that uses Firefox only? http://windowsupdate.62nds.com/ I have used it and it works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
