Unable to get Windows Updates
On a Toshiba with Vista Home Premium, it won't allow Updates to open the
site. Whether from the Start menu, or Microsoft.com. It says Windows Explorer has a problem and needs to shut down, which closes all windows. From any access point the same problem occurs trying to get updates. I did download and install Service Pack 1 and it says it is installed, and only 14 updates are showing in the Programs installed window. I did that through the Download area of MS.com. The computer was bought used with no real history behind the previous installs. I believe this Vista install was over an original XP OS. The HD is around 90GB and less than 40GB is in use.

If you want to check for updates manually, follow these steps: 1. Open Windows Update by clicking the Start button, clicking All Programs, and then clicking Windows Update. 2. In the left pane, click Check for updates. Also see: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/dow...dowsvista.mspx I've noticed with SP 1, the option to start using Microsoft Update is under Change Settings. -- TaurArian [MVP] 2005-2009 - Update Services http://taurarian.mvps.org ====================================== Disclaimer: The information has been posted "as is" with no warranties or guarantees and doesn't give any rights.
