Windows update error
I went ahead checking for Windows update. It came back with an error saying
encountered an error pointing to a discrepancy in PC time setting. and says check date and time setting. Error 0X800C0008. My time is correct. My region is correct. My country is correct. My language is correct and there and still no dice. I have followed everything Microsoft recommends in relation to the above error#. Any though? |

Did you try 'Alt+D', to see what it tells you about the error? Harry. "Chris" wrote in message ... I went ahead checking for Windows update.

Windows update error
Dear webster, the error message was within the body of the Windows update. It
was not a pop up. I did manage to solve the problem by repairing the IE! That was done through the add/remove program. Why did I do that? I was simply trying to find out the cause of my earlier report of the Idle problem that Mike correctly pointed in his reply in that message. I simply thought there is probably something wrong with my IE that causes my IE idle situation. That is why I thought maybe there is something wrong with my IE and hence repairing idea. This did solve my Windows update situation and am back on track. However, am not sure whether or not this also solved my idle case. Remains to be seen. I will report on that once am sure of the outcome. Going back on your suggestion of ctrl/D, I have to admit that I could never use the option whenever needed to due to error pop up. Because in those instances the whole pc freezes and thus never able to try this ctrl/D. At any rate, I do thank you for taking the time!

Windows update error
Chris:
For correctness sake, it wasn't ctrl/D but 'Alt+D', if my memory serves me right. It can be invoked, when an error message is displayed in a box. Your case doesn't seem to fit this templet. I am glad you got it fixed partially, maybe someone may be able to help you with the rest. Harry. "Chris" wrote in message ...

Windows update error
As has been said by many others...when you get that error, Windows Update
will often (perhaps always) work if you use https://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp note the 's' in https. May also be a problem with MS update site itself.
