Windows Update download problem

[WallyWeasel]

I can pick items from windows update to download.

I can pick "Install now"

I accept the license agreement, and the download window opens.

IT JUST STAYS AT 0% and will not begin to download (no error messages).

Do you have the icons to see your Internet connection in the system tray?

If you do, can you still see the Internet connection working? Can you browse elsewhere on the Internet while that is up? Jennifer Sigman

I had the exact same problem after installing XP Pro last week. For several days I tried to use the Update feature and it would hang up at 0%. Then on the 10th try or so it just magically worked and all of the updates appeared. It worked fine after that (I had to update in several stages and used it several times) which led me to believe it was an issue with Microsoft's server availability. My suggestion (which has no technical basis for it) is that you just keep trying.

I had the sma problem and what I did to correct the problem was to install the IE service pack , you dont have to access up date to download it .

It doesn't stop at the "Scanning for Updates".

It stops at the download process.

In response to Jen's question, yes I still can access the Internet.
