windows update
-----Original Message----- i have 1 critical and 1 recommended update that will not install, the ie service pack and dirctx 9.0a. i recently reparied windows and now these 2 update won't install. i tried downloading the updates by their number and i got an error message reffering to the advpack.dll file. can anyone tell me whats wrong??? . You said you repaired windows, presuming XP. Make sure that you're not just running Win2000 (but if you are, make sure you have at least SP3.) You need IE Service Pack 1 installed separately (and first, before directX 9.0a. Try going to StartWindows Update and REVIEW the updates available after the scan. Then delete all (including directX) except the IE Service Pack. Then download and install the ie service pack separately. Try a cold boot, and take a couple deep breaths if need be. The IE service pack WILL let you know when it is ready to install itself. After that, the other updates will fall back into place. IE Service Pack is needed for some others updates. |
