    i got a problem with windows update

    The Windows Update software did not update successfully. Below are some suggestions to help you proceed:
    You may have clicked No when prompted to accept the Trust Certificate. To allow the Windows Update site software to install, click Yes when presented with the Security Warning dialog box.
    Your Internet Explorer security settings may be set too high. To install the updated software and access Windows Update, Internet Explorer security must be set to medium or lower, and active scripting and the download and initialization of ActiveX controls must be enabled.



    i think i solve the second one but they never ask me to accept trust certificate , so i dont know what i can do to make it ask me


    or what else could it be

    How are you getting to the update site? Something sounds strange. I have never seen or heard of any of those types of problems from Microsoft's update site.

    Easiest way I've done it, from within IE, tools, windows updates.

    When you first click on the page, it'll ask you to install the latest scanner for updates using the MS site.

    If you haven't used windows update in a while...this is probably what you're getting.

    MAKE SURE you are on this site:
    http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp

    Click start, run.
    Type winver, press ok.

    See if it even has service pack one on it...

    You're on the ball for the site.

    Next question...does he have Antivirus software installed?

    Go to the link above...it's going to ask you to install the update by MS. It only take a few seconds, even if you are using 56K.
    Then...it'll put a link on this page, scan for updates.

    Press it...and it'll tell you what updates are needed after a brief scan.

    MAKE SURE if you accept the updater....it is from M$.
