Re: Unable to download updates

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Yes, I have German Windows XP Home at SP2.
The part of the update log covering the last session is quite big. An
automatic download started, I presume because of the "net start wuauserv"
command.
Should I post it here or by mail or as a binary somewhere?

I will try the update you suggest in the mean time.
