Windows Update Problem
Recently I have had problems with the Windows Update site. I keep getting the following message: [Error number: 0x80070005] The website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are trying to view. I have followed all the obvious solution trails without success. I can download updates manually and apply them but this is a bit time consuming and puts the onus on me to ensure I am up to date with all patches ... i'd much rather have it running automatically. Have you any ideas that may help.
If you think you know the answer, post your comments below.

Try this KB article: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;836926 or this one: When searching for available updates on the Update site, you receive the 0x800B0001 error. http://update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate/v6/showarticle.aspx?articleid=34&ln=en and/or see this posting on the Windows Update google group about a similar problem (you are not alone): http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windowsupdate/browse_thread/thread/7ef76b34d1995051/dc93a67fcf5bbec0%23dc93a67fcf5bbec0?sa=X&oi=groupsr&start=0&num=2 Here's the tinyurl for that page, as the above address is waaaaay too long: http://tinyurl.com/abp7y |

The only workaround I have found is to run msconfig and run the disable UAC script under the tools tab. This works until MS solves this in Vista. It will restore the use of a wireless adaptor and restore the functionality of your network. EDITOR'S NOTE: I don't see anything like you mention when I look at the Tools tab. Did you mean to comment on some other article? |
