Running Windows XP - When I run windows updates from IE it gets to the page
"Checking for the latest updates for your computer" and then never moves on.
The computer does NOT freeze up. I can still work but it never moves to the
next page showing you the updates that need to be applied.

Can I delete a folder or something to correct this?

I recommend you look through the posts in, and if needed post to the experts
in the Windows Update newsgroup. This issue has been addressed in there
many times.

Hello,

Thank you for using newsgroup!

From your post, I agree with Rock's suggestion. You may post to the windows
update newsgroup for more related information. In Addition, we can try the
following steps to troubleshoot this issue:

I am not sure if the issue is related to IE. Therefore, I'd like to suggest
you first reset IE settings to the defaults as below:

1. Delete the cookies
1) Click Start, click Search and click For Files or Folders
2) Type "Cookies" (without the quotation marks) and click Search Now
3) Delete files in the cookie directory

2. Delete all the temporary files
1) Open Internet Explorer
2) Click Tools, click Internet Options and click Delete Files button in the
General tab

3. Delete the downloaded objects
1) Open Internet Explorer
2) Click Tools, click Internet Options and click settings button in the
General tab.
3) Press View Objects.
4) Remove all the Objects there.

4. Remove the Plug-Ins in Internet Explorer
1) Close all the Internet Explorer windows.
2) Open a Windows Explorer window by right Click My Computer and choose
Explore.
3) Locate the following folder:
C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\PLUGINS
4) Remove all the files in this folder.
Note: You may also move them to another folder.

5. Delete SoftwareDistribution folder
1) Stop Automatic Updates service.
a. Click Start, click Run, type services.msc.
b. In the right pane, stop the Automatic Updates service.
2) Delete C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder.
3) Test the issue again.

6. Reset all settings of Internet Explorer
1) Under the General tab, click Clear history button.
2) Under the Security tab, click Default Level button.
3) Under the Content tab. Under Content Advisor the button default is
"Enable..."
Click on "Clear SSL" under Certificates, and click on "OK."
4) Under "Local Area Network (LAN) settings" click on the "LAN Settings..."
button - remove all checkmarks and settings unless actually required to use
a proxy and close the window
5) Under the Programs tab, click Reset Web Settings.
6) Under the Advanced tab, click Restore Defaults button.
Under Browsing put a checkmark into or remove the checkmark from "Enable
third-party browser extensions (requires restart)".
7) Click on "Apply", then "OK"
8) Close Internet Explorer and restart the computer.

7. Disable all third party Add-ons
1) Open Internet Explorer.
2) Click Tools to select Manage Add-ons.
3) Disable all third party Add-ons.

If the problem persists, I suggest we restart the computer in Safe Mode
with Network to see if the problem also occurs in this mode. Safe Mode
loads a minimally protected-mode configuration, disabling Windows device
drivers and using the standard VGA display adapter.

1. Restart the computer.
2. Keep pressing F8 key until the Windows Startup menu appears.
3. Choose the Safe Mode with Network, and press Enter.

Note: Some third party applications and hardware devices cannot be used
during Safe Mode.

Thanks & Regards,

Ken Zhao
