I think I've waited long enough. The following screen keeps coming up
after only a few seconds (I have a cable connection)
Software Update Incomplete
The Windows Update software did not update successfully. Below are some
suggestions to help you proceed:
· You may have clicked No when prompted to accept the Trust
Certificate. To allow the Windows Update site software to install, click
Yes when presented with the Security Warning dialog box.
· Your Internet Explorer security settings may be set too high. To
install the updated software and access Windows Update, Internet Explorer
security must be set to medium or lower, and active scripting and the
download and initialization of ActiveX controls must be enabled.
Note These are the default settings for Internet Explorer. For more
information about Internet Explorer security and instructions on how to
change your security settings, read · Microsoft Knowledge Base (KB)
Article Q174360.
I've read and followed the instructions in the article. Even though it
says it applies to XP and 2000, someone in the MS forum said it worked for
98SE also.
Still looking for suggestions.
