Windows Server Forum / Windows 2000 / Update / November 2006Weird Problem
I have never had this problem before but update just keeps scanning my computer and scanning and scanning and does nothing else. Any suggestions? Thank you. il giorno Wed, 13 Sep 2006 18:54:55 -0400 "oldsenilefoggy" <old@senile.foggy> disse: >I have never had this problem before but update just keeps scanning my >computer and scanning and scanning and does nothing else. Any suggestions? >Thank you. The latest bunch of patches created some "forever scanning" and "install it again" behaviour a few W2k machine of mine, too. And 100% CPU usage because of svchost; althoug this could be unrelated to patches themselves and due to low bandwidth / excessive antivirus payload. In these cases I usually skip automatic installations (unchecking the proper box) and go directly for updates on http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com. __ Marco Pesce - e-mail: marcopesce#tin.it -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The problem presented may be like mine with Win2K sp4...that update.microsoft.com (the all-in-one page) freezes at "Checking for updates on your computer". The page goes dead while this spinning bar made me think the website was actually checking. It takes about an hour of this for an error message to come up. Mine was 0x8DDD0009, which I don't see in the troubleshooter. Help anyone? http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/catalog/en/default.asp seems to still work. Marco's suggestion didn't help me. I had gone directly to updates; the page stopped. Now trying to "repair" IE6. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >The problem presented may be like mine with Win2K sp4...that [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >hour of this for an error message to come up.

This happened to me, too (althoug I don't have the error ID written down), but then I tried again after a reboot: it took a really long time to do the check (very old PC) and I had to stop unnecessary tasks to ease the scan, but at last it worked. __ Marco Pesce - e-mail: marcopesce#tin.it >-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >The problem presented may be like mine with Win2K sp4...that [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >hour of this for an error message to come up.

Althoug error messages are different It may be worth having a deep reading at http://support.microsoft.com/?id=818018 Good luck! >http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/catalog/en/default.asp >seems to still work.

Any suggestions? > Thank you. I had the same problem. When I tried to use wiindows update my browser would hang up without loading anything. I managed to fix the problem by making my way to the page http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/catalog/en/default.asp. It took me a couple of tries to actually open this page. Next, look over on the left hand side of page and click on windows update "troubleshooting". My problem was fixed when I downloaded the scrptiing engine 5.6 which is available as a recommended download. Hope this works for you. I was stymied for a long time. firewalls like zonealarm antispyware antivirus blocking you maybe or a connection problem >> I have never had this problem before but update just keeps scanning my >> computer and scanning and scanning and does nothing else.
