Posted October 16, 200816 yr I MIGHT of found the problem. This may not work on other systems. When the window shows saying the updates were not installed. Go to the internet options in the control panal and activate the connections tab. There will be a lan settings button. When you use that a lan settings box is shown. Make sure the auto detect, use automatic script, and proxy server are NOT activated. This might help. Probably not. > Hi I had the same issues and managed to fix it with the following. > > we did have a WSUS server until recently, won't go into details but will be > getting back online soon. the setting fro this were done by group policy, i > beleive if you are running windows xp and you click windows update it goes > theough the website but on vista it must use what is setup on the group > policy, hence i removed the group policy settings and hey presto. > > hope this helps some people. > > richb > > "Byte Harmony" wrote: > > > Windows Vista Business clean install on a business network with a sonicwall > > firewall.
