Re: Windows Update Does not work!!

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Check settings:-

In IE - Open Tools | Internet Options | Security
Click Custom
Turn on the Information bar for ActiveX controls -
If you scroll to the ActiveX controls and plug-ins section then under Automatic prompting
for ActiveX controls - click Enable.

I have assumed that you are using WinXP Sp2

Possibly also check to see if you have the latest WUAgent
A new version of the Windows Update Agent is available
