Has anyone had any difficulty accessing the Windows Update for XP? (using XP Corporate Version) The active-X installs, then scans for updates but after choosing them they don't download. Weird.

ARE YOU USING THE HOME EDITION ADN THE SADDOWN CRACK VERSION??

XP Professional Corporate Edition.

Ive heard of a few having trouble, what they did was individuly pick the updates from:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/search.asp?

Its a pain but thats how they got around it

Glad to catch you on the board dude! Thanks for the advice, that's exactly what I did. I got a new PC and formatted, installed XP, and manually searched for those updates.

i got the same problem just scans for updates but never downloads..

but you dont need to worry.. i think problems caused by microsoft update server and it ll be alright in a few days..

you can manually seach and pick updates one by one from download seach but i cant find all the updates that automatic update found..

best way is wait for a few days..

Ya I hope in a couple of days it will be fine. I was starting to think that Microsoft was blocking out XP Corporate users.

Keeping my fingers crossed that it stays this way

I wonder if you're getting a U.K. Microsoft site?

Most probably Conan.

Hey Conan, does every patch/security update appear on Microsoft Update?

I got a few patchs from warp2search the other day released by MS, but they were not on the update site, what gives?

the trick is to log on the cooperate windows update site..

http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/d...?corporate=true

After going there click windowsupdate, select winxp pro (eng)..and proceeed....

you'll notice a total of 23 updates..

I know there were a few ie problems, but they are now combined into 1 collective patch

Other updates include (custom updates to drivers, etc...)

For the lazy people who have the updates but wanna check how the site looks like .. check screenshot

I also tried that before doing a manual search, the corporate site didn't work either. I had some fixes stored on my drive though from earlier visits to the corporate update site.

Well I tried windows update again earlier and I was able to get some driver updates but there were no XP updates listed. They're probably doing some maintenance on the site.

The reason windows update is causing problems is because the site address has been changed,but xp still points you to the old address.There are instructions on how to rectify the problem here;

Read the post by "DrZoidberg".

His solution worked for me.

Having exactly the same problem with my edition of Corp (with a valid and new licence), MS seem to be somehow stopping the install.

Updates seem to download but not install, very annoying to say the least.
