Over the last several days I have been unable to use Windows Update
(selecting it from the IE pulldown). I constantly get the following results
screen:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------
No Updates Were Installed

The following items failed to install. To try installing them again, click
Review and install updates, and then click Install Now again.

August 2003, Cumulative Patch for Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1
(822925)
Security Update for Microsoft Data Access Components (823718)

When looking in my Windows Update.log file I see the following failure
messages:

This is on my work PC, behind a firewall, however, I have used Windows
Update many times from this PC in the past with no problems. Any thoughts on
what may be going on?

This mysteriously started working after many days of failures. If anyone is
interested, more info related to this can be found in the
forum with the same subject. I
originally posted my problem here not knowing that this other forum existed.
