Doing W-update from start menu:
Worked normally for years- without problem.
W98 4.10.98. - IE6 SP1.
Scan goes to 100% - windows in left pane remains greyed.
Have deleted temp int files and cookies.
have checked version No as per:
http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/troubleshoot/
the one thing that does not
show is the message 'There are no updates available', I just get 'Windows
Update is looking for available updates... 100% complete' in blue.
Cant see any error messages, extracts from windows update log
