Hello :),

I am having a problem with Windows Update where if I choose to filter the
downloads by type, i.e the links under "Select By Type" Windows Update will
reload itself inside the window. This happens when I select High Priority,
Software or Hardware. If I select "Install updates" that is fine and it shows
me what updated I have selected. This is fine for High Priority updates but I
have Software/Hardware updates that I want and I can't select them!

Please see the picture below.

I was using SP2, have since upgraded to SP3 and still the same problem.
Tried re-installing IE, same problem.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks :).
 
Nevermind. I have found a solution in a previous thread >

It's not that hard to look at the link I posted. I have BitComet installed
and the add-on was causing the issue. Disabling it fixed it.
