data base update

[Guest]

3 or 4 times that I try to update the data base when WU alert me, and ...
always the same problem.
The normal procedure does'nt operate, I have to apply many "manipulations"
to succeed.
This is very annoying

Hello Billy,

What is your "same problem".
What OS is installed?
What firewall you use?

Are the following services disabled?

To verify (Windows XP Windows Server 2003). Select:

I quote Stu--a regular contributor here:

Start/Run
Type "services.msc"
Click "OK"

Please check the following are started:

1.Automatic Updates
2.Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS)
3.Cryptographic Services
4.Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
5.System Restore Service

To verify that BITS is correctly configured :

1. Double-click `Background Intelligent Transfer Service.`
2. In the Startup type box, click Manual, and then Apply.
3. Click the `Log On` tab, and then verify that the service is enabled in
every hardware profile that you have listed. If the service is disabled in
one or more hardware profiles, click the hardware profile, Enable, and then
Apply.
4. Click the General tab and then Start.

If BITS starts successfully, visit the Windows Update Web site or the
Microsoft Update Web site to see if you can obtain updates. If it works OK,
change (2.) to automatic.
