Windows update help? I keep getting this error (0x80072EE2) everytime I try and use windows update with my XP PC. The computer also allows me to view this board, but everytime I go and try to post I get the page can't be displayed error and it doesn't post.... Any ideas, are the two things connected?
Yes, the two may well be linked, as that error can be caused by a firewall blocking access. Do you have a firewall? Microsoft say: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=836941 Hope that helps
Turn it off...then try to connect to windows update. If it works, then you most probably have your firewall configured incorrectly. Make sure you turn it back on as soon as you have established that it is/isn't the cause of the problem! Are you using Zone Alarm? If so you can manually add Microsoft to your Trusted Zone and turn the security settings to medium or low, that will do the trick.....it's most likely to be on High if you have never altered it yourself.
It's zone alarm.....and I don't think I have ever done anything to it......will have a bash tonight cheers fella
Sound, then it will be easy to sort. If you go into the Zone settings, then trusted zone, click add, and then put the microsoft web address in....security is lower in the trusted zone than in the general internet zone...that SHOULD sort it out No probs
Got it downloading, trying to get an office update however it won't let me go any further cause it keeps asking for data1.msi from the microsoft word 2000 sr1 disk, when i put that disk it, it doesn't pick the file up....done a search on hard disk and I can't find it there either.....any ideas????
