Problems With Windows Update?

[Blue]

Has anyone else had problems with windows update on xp this week. I've tried to run it several times and it just sits a 0% and doesn't cycle thru and tell me if there are any new updates.

Thanks

I just tried it, and it seems to be working fine.

Doesn't work for me either - maybe it depends on the version of XP you are running. Works for my W2K though

I did not work for me yesterday.
The MSN home page was also gone for a few hours.

Right now it works for me,

They have 2 update for my system

I run the DO with SP1 1078 for the moment.

Trick: If you have PopUpCop, allow this website or disable it

Well, i just dunno ...
running WinME - WinMe update works just fine for me, and running WinXP when i use a dialup isp, WinXP update works just fine .... but when i connect thru my broadband cable connection ... update for WinXP just freezes up.

I'm running WinXP Pro with sp1 - 1081, but it was doing the same thing without sp1.

I checked with my cable ISP who didn't know why either.


EDIT:

SOLUTION:
This was provided by Maximus over at neowin, and it worked for me ....

I have the same problem.

My Solution was taking the address http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp and adding it to the sites list for the Local Intranet security zone.

For some strange reason WU will not work with the normal Internet zone however it'll work when I add it to the local Intranet sites list
