DOWNLOAD FAILURE

[Joan Johnson]

In view of the new virus, I decided to check for windows
Updates. There were 23 Critical Updates and Service
packs. It took over an hour to download and the little
progress things kept moving. When it was done, it said
all 23 of them failed to install. Any idea what to do
now? Thks, Joan

Hi Joan,

Open Windows Explorer to C:\Windows. Open the windowsupdate.log and scroll
to the bottom. Locate the latest error codes (they start with 0x) and look
them up here:

It's really best to install two or three at a time in the event that
something disagrees with your machine, easier to identify that way.

Some people find that they can get patches to install by using

RUN
regsvr32 wintrust.dll
[enter]
