    Anyone else having problems recently? I am with 2 Windows 7 and one Windows 8 PC. There were about 16-24 available on each and most went fine. Now there are 3 that simply won't budge or catch on, at all.

    Others appear to be having problems, also.

    Separately, IE on one of the Win 7 machines won't load webpages. Chrome and Firefox are fine. No proxy or anything going on. Not sure what that's about.

    Security Update for Microsoft Office 2007 suites (KB2760588)

    Security Update for Microsoft Office 2007 suites (KB2760411)

    Mic Update keeps offering these two updates even when installed. This happend to me previously with different updates and fixed it. But of course did not keep a copy of how I done so.

    Ill keep looking and revert back with fix

    had an update of 3 later updates fail on my surface pro but i wasnt on a home network at the time so i chalked it up to that.

    ran fine when I got home though. middle of class isnt the best time to run maintenance anyway.

    Reset IE, working fine now.
    Ran Win Updates again this morning and it only found a definition for MSE, so might be fine. Will check the Win 8 machine later. ETA, took another attempt to or two, but they installed and is no longer stuck on Sept 12th as the last check for updates.
