It's too bad there can be some sort of FAQ posted to these newsgroups every
few days. In fact, that's such a good idea I think I'll patent it and
license it to Bill Gates & Co. for several billion dollars.

In this newsgroup, the FAQ would contain a prominent link to this site,
where, after a *full day* of searching, I finally found my simple solution:

http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/troubleshoot/

Giving credit where credit is due, this troubleshooting page is put together
very nicely. Unfortunately, most of Microsoft's "knowledge" base is not
anywhere near so well organized. Why did it take me all day to find this
site? It was finally a Google search that helped me stumble upon it. It's
pretty ridiculous that Google outperforms the search function built into
Microsoft's online help.

Good luck hunting, everybody! ;-)
