Re: WS2K3 - Critical Updates won't download

Hi

Thanks for replying.

This is a sudden, new problem. Automatic updates is turned on and has worked
fine up to now. I can still select non-critical updates, ie software and
hardware updates and they download and install with no problems. It is only
in respect of critical updates that there is a problem, which seems very
strange................

Is this a sudden, new problem or an ongoing one? Is Automatic Updates
enabled?
