Guest sillyolpom Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 I was tearing my hair out with this , in the end - as usual- the answer was easy - I had turned off my virus scanner ( avg ) and spybot but I had overlooked spybots teatimer ! once I'd turnd that off the prooblem was solved ! ctrl+ alt + delete selsct processes..... scroll down to TeaTImer and disable .. then try the Update again ..\ Good luck "Learner" wrote: > I'm trying to install windows xp update.

Guest Jimmy Posted September 23, 2007 Posted September 23, 2007 If anyone out there has Spybot Search & Destroy and while trying to run Windows update you receive the error number 0x80070020 and this message: "Windows Update has encountered an error and cannot display the requested page". I corrected the problem in my computer. It was the "Tea Timer" in Spybot S&D. Bring up Spybot S&D and click on mode.....then select advanced mode....click yes in the pop up box. Then click tools at lower left....then click resident.....then uncheck the Resident "Tea Timer" box. X out and that should do it and hopefully most will be able to get the Windows updates. You can go back after updating and put "Tea Timer" back on by following the above steps. You may have to do the same thing next time you update unless Spybot S&D fixes the glitch in the meantime. PS - "Tea Timer" ( if you have Spybot S&D) is an overall protection of settings on your computer. "Learner" wrote: > I'm trying to install windows xp update.
