Blodia Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 (edited) Everytime I go to windows update, click custom, wait for the thing to load, then when it tells me that I have updates, I click on them (whether it be High Priority, Software, or Hardware) it wont load the page, it will just reload windows update inside the frame until it eventually freezes internet exploder..hard to explain..so heres a pic..It's been doing this for a while. I even just formated and put on a fresh copy of XP and I'm still having this problem..any solution?

Blodia Posted June 12, 2007 Author Share Posted June 12, 2007 Yeah I have..it was working fine till I did some more windows updates..I formated and installed XP with SP2 slipstreamed, and i STILL had over 120 updates to add. After they were all done, I went back to windows update and found more updates, then the problem started occuring..

Panacik Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Wow. far out man! :laugh: That is kind of strange i admit. Try clearing your cache and try again, however if that does not work, let us know and i will see if i can find my old batch file i created which will do a few standard things to your system to try and make it work.

MarkusDarkus Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 There is something wrong with their windows update for me for a while now. Espically when updating new installs. I rekon there is a broken update inthere somewhere screwing up installs.

Panacik Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Try this. It may work: It is an old thing that used to work with Windows updates. I was going to impliment other fixes in to it, but never had time so there are only a few in there now. It was originally a batch file but i just moved everything in to a script for you. Its worth a go as these used to and im sure still do fix most windows update errors, but i cant guarantee it. Let me know if you get any errors with the file and ill take a look.

Blodia Posted June 14, 2007 Author Share Posted June 14, 2007 Thanks Rich, I tried it out but still no luck..This is just plain weird..I dont know why its doing this really. I did figure out a work around though (its weird aswell). If I right click the software, hardware, or priority updates, and click open in a new tab, it wont open it in a new tab, but it will load it correctly..thats screwed up..but I guess I shouldnt expect more from MS..

Blodia Posted June 14, 2007 Author Share Posted June 14, 2007 How do I go about doing that? And like I said, it wasnt always like this..I did the first 100 or so windows updates fine, then there was about 50 more (you'd think they'd come out with SP3 already..) and then thats when it started screwin up..it was probably one of the updates..
