Any new ideas............................confused

 

Manual downloading doesn't work either Halo, and neither does "Automatic updates" in fact I tried to download IE 7 from here and that would not install either...........even tried renaming "Software Distribution" folder to see if that would work.............Possible related item is that her date file did not change with "Day light Savings change" so I manually changed the time...........confused confused Dang thing has me stumped, but Thanks for the thoughts

 

Thanks again Halo gave it a short read, will give it a longer one later. Sorry first thing I tried was Dail a Fix, but that didn't work either.............It does not return any "Error Code" just says it failed to install the above:cry confused

 

Sorry Halo none of those suggestion worked, and the dang thing is starting to tick me off..............Any other suggestions I have E-mailed MS and Dell but no response yet................HELP HelpHelp.............confused

 

Make sure the time and date are correct and a language is selected under Internet Options.

To check the language setting in Internet Explorer:

1. Click "Tools" and then choose "Internet Options"
2. Click the "Languages" button
3. Make sure at least one language is listed in the "Language Options" dialog.

The problem started with the "New" daylight savings change, so I have to manually set the time and yes there is a language in IE, but Thanks Steve

The thing that really ticks me off is that I know it will be a simple "Fix" but what??????????????/

 

"Bump"

Hey come on gang, someone out there has to have the answer, just not meLOL

 

Thanks Halo I give anything a shot right about now.......even the "long" onesLOL Will get back to you later here when I get a chance to get on the Wife's computer(dang she is so possessive with "Her" puter) You'd think she was a Geek too

 

Have you "disabled" any services on that system?

You would probably get an error when updating like Halo suggested, but it could be something to check.

try : turn off auto updates and reboot. go to windows updates and manually update.reboot. turn auto back on. This worked for me with svchost problem so who knows?
