Hi Troth, Did what you said but it did not help. Any other suggestions??? I think if I don't get this to work I will never be able to get a update anymore. Sylvia > I had a similar problem about a year ago with a Win98 machine at work. You can try this, as this is how I solved it. Press CTRL-ALT-DEL and close everything listed except Explorer. After everything is closed (press CTRL-ALT-DEL to make sure EXPLORER is the only thing listed), THEN try the Windows update again. See if that helps. > ---Troth > > > Hi, > I went to the Windows-update site and there it said: Looking for the newest version from Windows update Software. > Than I get a new menu with the message: Do you want to install and run Windows update signed 8-26-2003 7.10 pm and distributed by Microsoft Corporation. > > I click on YES and my computer freezes up. > Tried it over and over again, also restarted the computer and tried it again but it keeps on freezing up. > > Does anybody know what I can do?? I have WindowsME. My computer runs fine and I never have a freeze up with other program's. > > Sylvia.....Holland.
