falconguy- it's norton 2003 and i keep it always up-to-date

devildog- NO

sparq- this IS a new system...very new...maybe it's a weird XP glitch..?

tobz- "When you scan the machine for updates, and then click on one of the active links in the left pane, the installation process does not complete" doesn't describe my problem exactly. my problem is more that the scan itself doesn't work, not the install. i tried the firewall thing though, and it didn't work. i'm gonna try the other solutions next...if you can find a more accurate solution that'd be great..i appreciate your help!

by looking in the Windows Update.log file, located in the Windows folder on Windows XP, Windows 98, and Windows Millennium Edition.

You might also be able to resolve this issue by deleting all of the content in Program Files\Windowsupdate and Program Files\Windowsupdate\V4 except for the iuhist.xml file located in Program Files\Windowsupdate\V4.

neither the file "windows update.log" (or just "update.log") nor the folder "windowsupdate" exist...:-/

when you can't figure out what the prob is, you then save everything you want to keep, the computer and reload windows. that will take care of it all.

dump the computer = reformatting the hard drive

HMMMM i seemed to have fixed the windows update problem...by going to the languages option in internet options...and adding english to it...(the list was originally empty). i have NO idea why that fixed it...but it did....

anyone have any ideas about the ifilm.com problem?

thanks to everyone who helped btw .

edit- all that work, and the only update was for my networking card..lol...........but i'm glad it works now!
