    strange!, did you try clearing all history cookies and cache


    is automatic updates enables

    search for a file called hosts
    open it with notepad and see if there are any references to important websites listed

    could be lots of things :mad:

    If you get an error message you can look it up on the site.
    many of the failed updates (if you get that far) can be got by clicking through to the technet article and downloading manually.

    clearing cache and rebooting is worth doing

    You can manually install some of the updates that the update needs
    Microsoft Windows Installer 3.1 = http://support.microsoft.com/kb/893803
    Update for Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) = http://support.microsoft.com/kb/842773


    Which OS ?
    Which version of IE ?
    have you rulled out spyware too ?
