Windows Update and Service Pack

Hey, I am currently having problems with widnows update. I have just reformatted and I need to get updates for Windows, except whenever I click the "Review and Install Updates" or any link on the menu, it loads very slowly and then says Page Cannot be displayed. Also, I had Service Pack 1 install file on my backup hard drive. When the file is about to install, it tries to connect to the internet and it says It cannot Connect. If anyone can solve my problem, it would be very helpful.

Thank you for your time and patience.

 

Does this help?

Yeah, i only have the smaller file, do you know exactly where i can get it? I have only seen the smaller file.

 

Jesus, even with those steps that I've followed Plansdowne, it still does not work. I cannot believe this.

 

Well, as i speak, i am installing SP1. I searched for it on google and it is the full install. As for those steps Christer, it still doesn't want to load :-\. So frustrating.

 

Wow...

I've tried different methods, and NOTHING. Anyone have any new method??

 

How are you connecting to the internet, and can you get to MS sites? Can you download from other sites?

If you have done a repair, not a reinstall, you may already have some of the updates you are trying to get. You can use Belarc to see exactly what you do have.

I'm as as Christer with your description of the problem, so if you can give us some more detail, we might be able to help.

Alright, i reformatted only my first hard drive and I downloaded Windows SP1 full, not the express because it wouldn't be able to connect to the internet. Then i try to connect to windows update and then it stops responding and I have to press Ctrl+Alt+Del so it can respond. After, it says "Windows Update has encountered an error and cannot display the requested page.

I tried to fixe that problem with that error number, it says to remove some file, I forgot the name and it it was already not selected.

 

You have XP, right? Home or Pro? When you press C-A-D you are getting the task manager, correct? What are you doing, in task manager, to make the computer respond again? And are you trying to download on another system? Does your XP installation have internet access, or not?

Yes, I have Windows XP (Pro). I use task manager to make the program respond, and yes, I have internet. I am posting right from my own pc.

 

A quick one because the full never works for some reason, but w/e.

 

You did follow the registry instructions?

Any of these suggestions help?
