XP Slowdown - 811493
Tim;
I will assume you would like a solution and I will not ignore this post as I usually do with language such as yours (implied). Follow this link: http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/troubleshoot/ Look for "When attempting to access the Windows Update Web site you receive the following message: Thank You -- you must be running..." Otherwise: Post back with the information from step 9 if all else fails. 1. Check Date/Time 2. Disable firewall 3. (Windows XP): http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;326815 Don't forget steps 6-9 catroot2 file. Do this whether SP1 is the issue or not. 4. (Windows XP) Go to Control Panel. Click Windows Update on the left panel 5. Go to Internet Options in the Control Panel: Delete Cookies Delete Files (check box "Delete all offline content") Clear History 6. If you use AOL, minimize AOL and open Internet Explorer and try Windows Update 7. Set a language in Internet Explorer: To check the language setting in Internet Explorer: (1.) Click "Tools" and then select "Internet Options". (2.) Click "Languages". (3.) Make sure at least one language is listed in the "Language Options" dialog box. 8. Disable the options "Automatically detect settings" and "Use automatic configuration script." To do this: (1.) Open Internet Explorer. (2.) Click "Tools," and then click "Internet Options." (3.) Click "Connections," and then click "LAN Settings." (4.) Make sure the check boxes for "Automatically detect settings" and "Use automatic configuration script" are not selected. 9. Upgrade to Internet Explorer Service Pack 1 if not already installed: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/...p1/default.asp 10. Check the Windows Update Log in the "C:\Windows\Windows Update.log" for the exact error message. See if something here fits http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/troubleshoot/ -- Jupiter Jones [MVP] An easier way to read newsgroup messages: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/p...oups/setup.asp Please respond to newsgroup only for everyone's benefit.

I buy a product that costs me well over £100 (uk pounds sterling) which then goes wrong through no fault of my own, and you get upset when i use an implied expletive ???? Thanks for the solution ....

XP Slowdown - 811493
I am running XP Home SP1 on my 1.7G Sony Vaio desktop. I've been
using MS's Auto Updates regularly including the installation of 811493, which brought my computer to a crawl. I uninstalled the patch with the usual warnings of prog's which may not work. My computer is back up to speed with all the mentioned prog's working, BUT... There were several other newly created problems with the MS CD Wizard copying newly 0'd length files to CD. The program just hung. I discovered the thing about the 0'd length files when I used Sony's version of their CD/Dvd creator which was polite enought to tell me why not all of my files were going to be copied and gave me the option of choosing what I'd like to do. There were several other minor bugaboos which I've worked around, but in response to Lucky's possible version problem, I have noticed that up until 811493 my updated Windows version had been changing through SP2.xxxxx and after uninstalling it reverted back to SP1.xxxxx.??? I too am puzzled and dissappointed with MS and am one of the newly created "Slow to Update Windows" people. I've also heard that temporarily disableing Norton anti-virus, and then reinstalling the 811493 patch then re-installing NAV has worked for many, but I'm afraid to quickly jump back in again until I've heard more... (Lucky) wrote in message . com... I have this patch installed but I don't have the slowdown problem. I'm runnimg XP Pro (original)... could it be a problem only with XP SP1 or 2 ? |
