April 16, 201113 yr Author I have Auto Update turned on - but no auto updates coming through. When trying to manually update from the microsoft site I get the error message from this URL http://www.update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/muoptdefault.aspx?returnurl=http://www.update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate&ln=en-us&muopt=6 I run Symantecs Norton 2011 as my Anti Virus software - and as far as I am aware there are no viruses. However, I know how devious these little things are. I can run Update 2 different ways - one from the Start menu and one from the Safety tab - Windows Update (with Internet Explorer running). Either way gives me the same error message

April 16, 201113 yr Author The error message was in my original post - so you can see the error number was 0x80070424. I tried your command line and it worked - yippee. I rebooted after running the prompt and went into Windows Update - I now have 88 updates to install. Thank you so much for your time - it is greatly appreciated.

April 16, 201113 yr Author I am so glad you saved your notes, and allowed me to use them. All my updates are now installed - so back to full working order. Once again thanks - hopefully I will not need to use this forum again - but as they say 'never say never'. Take care Bertie
