Re: The website has encountered a problem...Error number: 0x800B00

Maybe there's a newsgroup for MU. I didn't look thoroughly. My
second suggestion is also something you've probably tried, which
is to use Windows Update instead of Microsoft Update.

Microsoft Most Valuable Professionals (MVPs) have not joined
this thread, and I don't think you clicked on the link I gave
you.

If you are willing to tangle with Microsoft support, start here:
http://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?&ln=en-us&gprid=6527
Unlimited WU support requests are included at no charge.

It's true that convenience for developers introduces absurb
stuff into software. For example, on the support page, it says
after you run through unlimited, more than that costs set
amounts. That's due I guess to a template applied to all the
pages, of which none but this page offers unlimited free support.

If newsgroups suit you better, consider using a newsreader.
The web interface is pretty good, Outlook Express is better,
however there is a precaution you must take, which is to
conceal your email address to avoid getting spammed.

Start with this link, copied and pasted in IE's address window:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windowsupdate
It ought to open this newsgroup in Outlook Express. Before
you post any messages, munge the email it gives out.

I was considering trying MU. I'll think I'll stick with WU. Thanks.
I'm sorry I couldn't solve your problem, but I'm willing to listen
and continue to suggest stuff if that helps you to solve it.
