He needs to fix his computer. Update thinks its a Mac. I suggested
that he clear the update cache.

I don't know what to tell you. Regardless, he did ask a
straight-forward question. I don't know why it needs to become a
production. He probably has it fixed by now, but why not just answer
the question?

I have no idea what he may have meant by "update Cache". Was he referring
to the SoftwareDistribution folder or perhaps one of its subfolders or
contents of one of the subfolders?

Furthermore, I prefer not give anyone information or advice that may have
unintended, unwanted, and/or possibly dangerous effects on a machine, thank
you.

Uh ... do you even know where "windows update" stores its cashe of
updates that may fool it into thinking the computer is a Mac or don't
you?

The *cache* isn't involved here. (Why didn't you begin a new thread if you
had a question, Dan?)

You're not alone. See either of these recent posts in this very newsgroup:

It was my friends question. He posted because I suggested that it
might help. I understand you have a litte volume to deal with here, so
thank you.
