H3llo .. and help?

[DbLH3liX]

I think I've done something wrong. I installed IE8, at last, then the rest of the files as listed in my previous post and the exe to do the certificate update. IE8 is not connecting to windows update. If flashes between with the header bar "Microsoft Windows Update" and the following site:

http://fe2.update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en-us

The loading bar is full, but the page just loops and goes nowhere. What did I do wrong?

Before doing this I had 93 updates in the little shield in the systray so I thought I'd go manaully get them through windows update this way. Still, something is obviously not right.

 

Thanks in advance.
