Guest Weatherlawyer Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 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.

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%.

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). -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-IE, Mail, Security, Windows Desktop Experience - since 2002 AumHa VSOP & Admin http://aumha.net DTS-L http://dts-l.net/

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.
