OT: WUAUCLT.exe Problem (HELP)

[Atrocities]

Well I have checked into a bit further and according to Microsofts test sight, I do have windows updater turned on. I scheduled it for weekly updates and also turned off ALLOW remote access to this computer.

I stepped up the firewall because I show a lot of inbound activity for a specific port number.

I can see how that would cause a bit of a snag.

What started the problem was that I could not load any pages. It was as if all of my available bandwidth was gone. Most annoying.

Shut Windows Update down via "Settings", "Control Panel", "Automatic Updates". Download the Service Pack 2 at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
I guess it is trying to download this pack automatically and fails due to size and traffic. Make sure to make a backup of your HD before installing the Service Pack.

Thanks a ton for this info Mephisto.
