Guest MC Hammer Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 When I go to run Windows Update, I get a message saying "to check for updates, you must first install an update for Windows Update. Your automatic updating settings will not change." I click on "install now" and get a message saying "to install the update, Windows Update will automatcially close and re-open" This does not happen and the update does not install. so it comes back to the "check for updates" option, which of course when clicked prevents me with the first message above. Nice loop.....
