Andre, I tried your solution and it did not work for me. I should have mentioned that I am using Vista Ultimate (sorry). When the system looks for updates it eventually comes back and says: "Windows could not search for new updates". I think it is overwhelmed with the number of updates it needs. Thanks for your help....bipolar66
