Default Windows can't search for updates


"Luc" wrote in message

Thanks for the information.
Is there a difference between logging in as administrator and running a
program, and right-clicking and run as administrator ?
Otherwise, i do not believe this has something to do with my problem...
In normal circumstances you will be logged on as a user, not as an
(full)administrator, and that user should be able to do his
Windows-updates,
isn't it ?

It's clear that i'm not the only one with this problem, but i cannot find
a
solution.

Who has the key ?

Try clicking Start, then in the search box type "windowsupdate.log" without
the quotes, and look through it and see if there are any errors on any other
updates. If you find an update that failed, go to microsofts site and
download that particular update manually, then install it and try again.
hope this helps
