I am experiencing the very same problem! I was unable to
access windows update for a while...& finally was able to
yesterday, however, after completely downloading all the
updates...MOST of the updates were unsuccess & have
failed. My dialog box did the very same thing as
yours...showing 100% completed but wouldn't do anything
after that. I am very frustrated & confused! What am I
doing wrong! HELP!
