Guest Mike Gale Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 I am attempting to use Windows Update from IE on a Windows 2000 machine. The program appears to be in an endless loop. It displays "Checking for latest updates for your computer..." for periods up to 10 minutes with green progress indicator. Then it flips to "making sure you have the right version of update". Then repeats. Seemingly endlessly. The program used to work. I currently mostly use the automatic update facility, not via the browser. That works. I have tried to track down a KB article, 193657, but it is unavailable. Any ideas how I get this working again?
Guest Mike Gale Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 I may have resolved this. I started moving through the options in the web interface. (Change Settings etc.) This appeared to trigger completion of the "update listing" process. A successful update followed. After that another successful update, which also showed up while I was looking at the options, FAQ's etc. In neither of these cases did I change any setting in the Update UI. Further notes: The menu item in the browser says "Windows Update" but this changes to "Microsoft Update" as forms are put onto the screen.
