Hi miguelr,

I think mikeislearnin is referring to Belarc Advisor. For me it gives false information such as updates missing and after research on various forums I am advised that it is known to do this. I run Microsoft Baseline Security Analyser 2.0 which you can download from http://www.microsoft...a2/default.mspx

I also have your problem with Windows Updates for .NET Framework 1.1 installation. Are you referring to the following updates, namely KB928365 and KB928366? that will not install. If so I have the fix for it, but I am not game to use it as in threads researched there is a warning "Some Windows OS may have to be reformatted if uninstalling .NET Framework 1.1 2.0 3.0" and as my computer is running fine I elect not to uninstall and reinstall - Here is the fix if you want to consider doing it. It comes from the following site:

1) Download Windows Installer CleanUp Utility from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301.

2) Run Windows Installer CleanUp Utility.

3) Select Microsoft Dotnet framework 1.1 and remove.

4) Download and Install Microsoft .NET Framework Version 1.1 Redistributable Package from http://www.microsoft...;displaylang=en

5) Download and Install Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 from http://www.microsoft...;displaylang=en

6) Using windows update or download and install security update (hotfix-KB928366 ) from http://www.microsoft...;DisplayLang=en

mikeislearnin, I think you forgot to include in your post the site for getting patches for Windows Installer 3.1. Easily done, but could we have it if you don't mind please?

miguelr, why not do a PCPitstop test and post it here for us to see, that will tell you so many things about your computer and give you items to fix if any and how to do it. You will need to register if not already a member at the following site:

miguelr,

Re your Windows updates and you inability to execute them. Maybe if you start from scratch and follow the following instructions you then may have success in downloading and installing them. The following is worth checking to make sure there is no problem.

Step 1:
Verify that your computer's date and time are accurate and that Internet Explorer language option is not empty.
To check the language setting in Internet Explorer:
1. Click "Tools" and then choose "Internet Options"
2. Click the lanuage button
3. Make sure at least one language is listed in the "Language Options" dialog.

When checking your date (including the year) and time, also check the Internet Time and Time Zone. Double click on the date/time in the notification/system tray area (near the clock) select Internet Time Tab and then select update now. If it's not already checked, check automatically synchronize with an internet Time Server - WinXP.

Step 2:
Also check these settings:
1. Tools>Internet Options> Advanced
2. Scroll down to the Security Settings.
3. Make sure that the two boxes are checked that say "Enable SSL 2" or "Enable SSL 3".
4. Uncheck "Check for server certificate revocation".

Step 3:
Also delete Temporary Internet Files
1. Tools>Internet Options >General
2. Under Temporary Internet files, click Delete Files, Clck OK

Step 4:
1. Tools> Internet Options > Security
Click Trusted sites, click Default level.
Click the sites button and clear the checkbox "Require server verification"
(http:) for all sites in this zone."
Now add the following:
http://*.windowsupdate.microsoft.com
https://*.windowsupdate.microsoft.com
http://download.windowsupdate.com

If required, reboot and try Windows Update again. If still no success, have a look at the following links for more clues.

Make sure you haven't got anything blocking Windows Update like
Nortons,
Zonealarm etc
Also make sure you don't have a Web Accelerator working in the backgound such as
Net Zero
HiSpeed
Speedband etc

Clear out your temporary internet cache

Try a reboot and then try WU again.

Are there any specific error codes that you do see?
At what point does it continue when checking for the latest software, or when checking for updates?

Still no joy, then try Renaming the SoftwareDistribution folder

Click START, Choose Run
In the Run box, type "services.msc. " (without the quotes)
Click OK
Right click the Automatic Updates service,
Click stop.
Stopping the service will take a moment.

Rename the "SoftwareDistribution" folder :
a. Click Start, click Run, type "%systemroot%" (without the quotes" and then click OK.
b. Right click the SoftwareDistribution folder, and then click Rename
c. Type SoftwareDistribution.old, and then press ENTER to rename this folder.

Click START
Choose Run
In the Run box, type "services.msc." without the quotes"
Click OK
Right -click the Automatic Updates service
Click Start.
Starting the service will take a moment.

Reboot if appropriate and try WU again.

Note when you rename the SoftwareDistribution folder - you will loose your history but not important.
