windows update

[fatattack 0]

Does anyone know what is going on with windows update ?

 

It's been over two weeks now since I last been able to use it.

 

For the record , all my servers and workstations are licenced and have valid keys.

 

Sometimes it hangs on finding updates (winxp mostly), sometimes it finds updates but when I try to click the "I agree" statement it doesn't move.

Strange thing is that this happens on every machine, even a fresh installed one.

 

This is very annoying since, besides the security issues this leaves, I use windows update to keep my drivers up to date or for a fresh install to install my drivers.

 

I have heard from other people that they have the same problem but I can't see how it can be that Microsoft keeps this down without a single explanation.

 

What does still seem to work however is the automatic download in winxp of critical updates ( but you can't do anything manually ) and if I use the corporate site I can still download patches but have to do a manual install.

 

If anyone can help on this one, it'd be most appreciated.
