Downloading Updates 33% for ages.

[Guest Weatherlawyer]

I have a yellow shield in my system tray stating that I am downloading

updates. No idea from where. Presumably MS updates but why is it stuck at 33%

it's been like that for a while.

 

I have nVidia firewall that came with the computer and Avast free antivirus.

 

I would have thought that WinPatrol or SpyBot would have warned me of any

problems. Nothing from any of the above.

 

I have the updates scheduler set to download and then let me choose what I

want from it.

 

Thanks to all in advance.

Disable the 'nVidia firewall' and Enable the native XP firewall.

If that doesn't resolve the issue, post the last 50 or so lines of the

WindowsUpdate.log into your reply after initiating a manual visit to

Microsoft Update.

Read the following to learn how to open the WU.log and what to look for:

Thanks for the interest.

 

I am waiting for Microsoft to show something but it's like it si working its

way through soup. Still showing only 33%.

 

Here is about 60 lines of code (10 extra for your patience.)

Absent any serious numerical Errors elsewhere in your windowsupdate.log, you

may be seeing a delay caused by excessive demand on the servers ("Update is

not allowed to download due to regulation"). See:

 

Updates are not downloaded or the “Automatic Updates” icon does not display

the status of downloads when you enable the Automatic Updates service:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910340

 

You can try downloading/installing the updates via Windows/Microsoft Update:

Understand that by doing so, you're pushing all other Automatic Updates

users further back in the queue (which may explain, at least in part, why

Automatic Updates hasn't brought them in for you yet).

Thanks for the help. I was thinking it was something in my registry that was

turned off but since the OS is fully functional, I don't need to Panic Now in

nice comforting large red letters.
