Windows UPDATE PROBLEM by
Fred S
Hi,
My friend is running Win ME and cannot get Windows Update to even get
past checking for the latest software as it starts.
A quick look at the troubleshooting ref given seems to have more to do

The problem he has is with WinUpdate itself.

webster72n
My BelarcAdvisor reports the following about my
drive(s):
48.56 GB Usable Hard Drive Capacity
and 46.50 GB Hard Drive Free Space.

would that be?
The dreive has 80 GB.
Still puzzled.
