Windows Update/ Windows ME
I can download with no issues on all updates but always get an error message
installing and never completes installation on any updates. Don't know the reason for this happening. Any suggestions would be helpful. |

Windows Update/ Windows ME
Any suggestions would be helpful.
As would some details if you want to get some help. Which updates? What error messages? You can check both by looking at the files iuhist.xml in the Program Files\WindowsUpdate\v4 folder and the Windows Update.log in the Windows folder. -- Mike Maltby fairlynewatthis wrote: I can download with no issues on all updates but always get an error message installing and never completes installation on any updates.

Could it be ... NSW|NAV|NIS ? I'll take .inf files for $1,000, Mike.

Have you been running with the Quack?
Are you running Norton System Quack - - errr - Doctor? If so, then read on...... You may have up to 32,000 empty OEM*.INF files sitting in your c:\Windows\INF folder, which prevents any program putting a legitimate *.INF file in there (it also slow your system down to stop, trying to read them and sort the [non-existent] contents!). You need to DELETE all 0byte (and ONLY the 0byte) OEM*.INF files. look here for information on how to do that , and how to prevent it happening again (i.e. TURN OFF NORTON SYSTEM DOCTOR - unless you are actively troubleshooting something) The Symantec site: http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT...122464806?Open also "Computer Stops Responding (Hangs) During Setup, Installing Updates, or Adding New Hardware" (http://support.microsoft.com/default...;en-us;Q281967) also http://support.microsoft.com/default...;en-us;Q301540 (which contains the fix for your problem in the NOTE under the patch description) Phone your Local MS office, and tell them your problem quoting Q301540 - they'll either send you the patch, or give you a one-use password, for the cost of the call. Good Luck -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2006, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.crashfixpc.com/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "fairlynewatthis" wrote in message ...
