Windows Update Problem
Category:
Quickies
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.

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?
