How did your reinstall ME? - over itself, or 'clean'??
Did you have IE6 installed before the reinstall (if you reinstall OTT)?? -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2004, Win9x) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's or http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/f.../Mar27pmvp.asp "Kathy Ann" wrote in message ...

windows update hangs up
I had to do a complete reinstall from scratch, with the
help of Dell of course! I just checked and found that I have IE 5.50. I am sorry to say that I don't know what OTT is; but am hoping you will be able to help!

OK - so you reset the system to 'factory fresh'? (OTT = 'Over The Top')
Can you use the web normally? - at exactly what point in Windows Update does it freeze? 1) as you enter the site? 2) as it refreshes the update engine? 3) as it starts the scan for updates? 4) as you start the download? Check your Security settings in Internet Properties - set them to Default/Medium for the Internet Zone, and try again -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2004, Win9x) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's or http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/f.../Mar27pmvp.asp "Kathy Ann" wrote in message ...

Noel, It seems from the fix that I got, that I had too
many OEM *.inf files and had to delete all the ones with 0 bytes. You are wonderful, and I appreciate the prompt responses to my questions.

Or better totally remove all Symantec crippleware and set your PC free.
