Windows Update

[Anon]

Ok...here's the query...when I try to run Windows Update on one of my computers (XP Home), I get send to this http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/thanks.asp . But if I try it on my other comp (XP Pro) it works fine. Any ideas? Thanks

p/s: I should add...it was working fine yesterday

Have you tried going to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp ?

Check security settings, and make sure Java is enabled.

Seems to have righted itself now...without me doing anything...??

It's Windows?

Thank you for your interest in Windows Update

Windows Update is the online extension of Windows that helps you get the most out of your computer.

You must be running a Microsoft Windows operating system in order to use Windows Update.

Probably a bit late here, but I thought I'd note for future reference...it's probably a DNS issue. If it happens again (I still run into this every once in awhile on customer's systems) try running:
ipconfig /flushdns
then release/renew everything to ensure you have the current/correct dns servers.
