How to view the Update log in Windows
Click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open box, type %windir%\windowsupdate.log
and then click OK.
Scroll down towards the bottom for the latest entries to locate the error code(s)
associated with the latest failed attempt to download/install. If appropriate copy and
paste the error codes into this thread so someone may be able to assist you. On the other
hand, you may be able to find the error code and other suggestions by searching the
Newsgroup.

Also check Windows folder for file called KB******.log (****** = number of update ie
KB896688) and post the contents of the failed update.
This may provide further clues as to why the update failed.

| 4/19: There are only three updates that would not install for me.
| KB920813, KB929064, and KB925251. I don't know if this means anything,
| but when I checked the info on the downloads it indicated that the
| download size and mins required were both zero. If there is no
| infomation in the file, then nothing can successfully download. Does
| this make sense to anyone? Ron1
