[carmeo]

I was trying to to get my Windows XP updated but there is an error in the page and I can't get it done. Anyone having the same problem?

No way! My Win2k update is the same story and its original!

I have a couple of machines at work that are doing the same thing. it does show what needs to be updated but when i try to download them i get directed to a page that says unable to preform the upgrade....

my machines are W2K pros and very legit and fresh installs.

I have scoured the MS Knowledge base for the wording and error number given in the webpage but i cant find the solution.

Close all open IE windows.
Search for and delete all copies of iuctl.dll & iuengine.dll and then retry the Windows Update.
I?m not sure about XP but this usually solves the problem for Win2K. AFAIK this problem generally starts after applying the latest Service Pack.

If you have a virus scan running try disabling it. That was screwing mine up once before.

People have admitted worse things around here.

True, some of us even admitted to liking Neil Diamond's music
