I'm using Windows XP and when I goto the Windows Update site the Windows XP menu item is grayed out and won't let me access it. Anyone know a fix for this? I looked on the Microsoft Knowledge Base and nothing there seemed to help me.

Are you logging in as an Administrator? It will be greyed out for guest and standard users. Also if for some reason you've set your computer to domain it might be blocked in security options.

I believe there was a guy on the Madonion forums that had this same problem the other day on XP...somebody told him to use http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp and it worked
