Is anybody else having "issues" with Windows Update with 2K? It seemed to start yesterday...

what problems you got ???
everything runs fine here on XP ......
what do u mean

check If you have blaster (virus) that prevent you from using the update service.

all of my boxes are clean and patched. I can't get the new update software to install on any of them...

Working fine for me, do you have the firewall AV or other blocker software either turned off or set to allow ?

I've tried everything I can think of to get it to work. I even took some spare parts and built a very basic box that I did a fresh install of 2K on, installed ZoneAlarm off a CDRW and configured it. All is working except Windows Update. I have 2 2K Pro, XP Pro and XP Home, and a Server 2003 box that it doesn't work on. I e-mailed Microsludge but no response back yet...

I've had the same problem on XP. Follow the URL listed below and download the install program for Widows Update. Worked just fine for me! :wink:
