Windows updates question.

[Chelsie]

My windows system updater thing that upates every so often has been screwy lately.
Take today for example: It was updating, was at 87% and then all the sudden the little icon from my taskbar just disappeared and nothing ever popped up that said I needed to restart for updates to take effect or anything. Thats the second time thats done that I think, but I'm not exactly sure.
I dont know if it means somethigns wrong but I figured I'd post and find out.

You can always run the updates manually by going to http://update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate or if you have MS Office installed you would be better off going to http://update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate

hi Chelsie.
i think everyone experiences that, and some just ever notice it happening.
Microsoft is immense, nevertheless, breaks in connection to MS updates are common, mostly when the updates are first released, due to the vast numbers being supplied. if you are worried, just do what LNCPapa says.

That could be it.
Thank you both very much =]

Your not the only who notices this.
Its a connection loss between us and MS

Just keep trying. We all know we need our weekly 1gb patches from MS.
