Windows Update

[MattW]

Anyone having any issues getting to Windows update??

I get a "thanks for your interest" message when i go there now, suggesting that my laptop is infact a mac. I downloaded SP3 from there last week or maybe week before, so not sure if that is anything to do with it.

Anyone else having this??

I don't run it on auto - because it had a habit of downloading exactly when i didn't want it to - so i just go and do it manually.

My laptop is running Win XP MCE sp3 - and yesterday was first time i had tried to do update since the sp3 update.

My desktop (which i'm on now) is running XP pro sp2 - and update works perfectly on here.
