Modifidious

My updates services are running, checked that. I tried starting and stopping it (the autoupdate service) as well and also tried renaming the catroot folders as well as the softwaredistribution folder and still, everytime I try to go to windows or microsoft's update page it shows it's loading in the status bar, but nothing appears in the browser...Any ideas? Btw: I'm on Media Center but am having the same issue on another Xp Home system.

HALLELUJAH!!!!! iT'S BEEN "BUGGING" ME FOR 2 YEARS NOW. I know alot of it had to do with services running and i elemenated alot of useless ones from running, but still svc still grew to p*** me off. Thank you man. This solves it all.

Hey there everyone, I'm a n00b13 to the forums here. I'm trying to make work a lilttle easier for myself. I already accomplished making an unattended XP with all our shop progs and so on, got that part down. But ghosting saves time by taking out another 30-40min still!!! Especially if your unatteneded disc is more than 1gb. My question is this: Say I do a new install on a computer that has everything I need installed and all settings set. I also do a sys prep before I create the ghost image, this way it can be used universally on any XP machine. Will this work? I tried it making the new image off of a Dell the other day and tried ghosting over to a Sony laptop with no avail. I'm thinking it's maybe just a factor of creating the image on a non-Dell machine. IDK. Any suggestions or ideas would be GREATFULLY accepted. Thanks in advace.
