Can not access windows updates

[Joe C]

When I try to update my Windows XP nothing happens, I get
a blank white screen with the msg "Done" in the lower left
corner.

Has anyone got a fix?

Thanks, Joe

The site is very busy right now because the new patches have just come
out and there are literally millions of people trying to get them. I
haven't been able to access it either. Wait a bit, like maybe later in
the day or even tomorrow. If this is not a new problem for you, here's
a link to the Windows Update troubleshooter:

I have similar problems, sometimes I get through to the list of critical updates, but cannot download or install them

It must be a traffic problem since Microsoft put out a bunch of critical updates for Home and Pro XP at the same time

Try it tonight and see if it is better - that is what I am going to do.
