Microsoft Update Fails Mickeyess 12.07.2007 14:10:02 I have been using Microsoft Update successfully since its release. When trying to get the latest updates (7/10/2007) Microsoft Update would not work. When I attempted to access the Microsoft Update site either from the Windows XP menu or via links on the Microsoft web site I was directed to a page stating "Welcome to Microsoft Update - New - Try Microsoft Update today..." as though I never had installed it (http://update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/muoptdefault.aspx?returnurl=http://update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate&ln=en-us). When I click through beginning with "Start Now" I am directed to a page that states "Review the license agreement" (http://update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/muoptdefault.aspx?returnurl=http://update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate&ln=en-us) and I click "Continue" I am then directed to a page that inquires if I wish to change my Automatic Update selection (http://update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/muoptdefault.aspx?returnurl=http://update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate&ln=en-us&muopt=6). I have elected to download the updates and select when I wish to install them. I click on the "Check for Updates" button. I am then directed to the first page (above) in this cycle "Welcome to Microsoft Update - New - Try Microsoft Update today...". This cycle repeats if attempted again. I was able to obtain the latest critical updates as they were downloaded by the Automatic Update feature. The behavior above is repeated after the latest critical updates were applied. I have Windows XP Pro SP2 with all the updates through the end of June. I use IE7. My Windows XP Professional and Office XP licenses are valid.
