few problems

[jeffrey]

Hi,

Have a few strange problems. On a Panasonic Notebook, having problems
accessing the windows update and office update page. When I go to the
windows update page, I get a blank page, no errors or anything. If I
manually type in the V5 windows update site, the screen loads, but will not
scan the notebook.

When I go to the office update site, I can click on check for updates, but
when it goes to the next screen, its just blank. I can`t seem to get either
to show any updates. Now if I let automatic updates run for Windows XP SP1,
it can find the updates and install them.

I am logged in under the admin account and having these problems. I can`t
even use disk defrag, the defrag window will come up, but nothing will
function. The system is virus free, did adware/spyware checks, both virus
check from our local server and a online check as well. The system is
running XP SP1, haven`t had the chance to get this on updated to SP2. Right
now doing sfc /scannow to see if any system files were corrupted. Any
suggestions? Thanks.

Jeff

Please do not post in HTML. Go to the microsoft.public.windowsupdate group
for advice. They are experts. They may help you with both update problems.

I`m using OE to post in here, its not set for HTML, also not all the
problems I listed was to windows update, one other problem was with the
defrag. I am also finding a few other problems with the system, not able to
print from IE or OE as well.

This is the best site I have found for the disk defragger:
