I'd start with the ZA help file or asking there directly but if not then I'd
check the privacy settings in ZA. What happens if you turn the firewall off
and do the updates? (Not the safest idea I know but it's worth a shot to
check.) You could try adding the *.microsoft.com address to the trusted zone
and give it complete access but the privacy settings might still prevent you
from using the cookies or the scripts properly. Just to be safe, if you're
using XP, you could turn off ZA and then enable the Windows Firewall and do
your updates. When you're done just reverse the process and turn ZA back on.
