Defender downloads 85% and then just hangs.

Same thing happens when trying to download from a different site.

Has anyone had this problem before?

Hello Joe,

Ignore the header
Try this solution at <http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943144>

Reboot

Now try to install your updates.
<http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/>



If no luck, try Dial-ª-fix

<http://wiki.djlizard.net/Dial-a-fix>

Run this program with all the functions activated in safe mºde. (F-8)

Please read the page and Scroll down about 2/3 of the way to Download

Dial-ª-fix

Exit Safe Mode (Rebººt)

You didn't say, or at least it's not clear, whether you tried getting the
updates using Internet Explorer, by going here:

<http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/>

Some new ActiveX software has to be installed on XP before your computer can
be scanned.


Just follow the prompts to do so, but it should then list and download the
same updates, and install them, as those you see in the taskbar notificatiºn.


If going to the site is successful, keep going back until there are no more
critical updates to install.


Try the updates n0w
<http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/>


I hope this post is helpful.

Let us know how it works ºut
