Windows Update

[Spendel]

When I go to try to update my windows. I am able to open
internet explorer, and I say accept microsoft software,
then when I hit the link to 'Scan for updates' I real
quickly flies through the percantage, goes to 100% then
says I have no updates. But I just installed it and I
know I have updates to download. Anyone able to help me
please?
Thanks,
Spendel

Hi Spendel,

Control Panel/Internet Options/General tab, click on "languages", you =
probably need to add yours (it is probably blank). Once installed, =
restart IE and try the update site again.

Hi,

Go to the Date & Time applet, make sure your month and especially the =
year are correct. If they are off by a few months, the Update site will =
do this.
