Slasher,
I've written up my method for fixing a broken Windows Update. In the delay between when I first posted and now, I've found out a bit more but not enough to make a nice tidy short checklist. It runs to 9 pages! (including explanations)
I don't think I should post it here fro two reasons
1 It is too long
2 It is a cut and paste of three articles from Microsoft's knowledge base, and all their stuff is copyrighted. Would be the wrong thing to do for me and the Captain to have it appear here.
I'll email it to you and if anyone else is interested I'll email it to them too - just express interest here.
If anyone's interested, the MS Knowledge Base articles are Q193657, Q243787 and Q195155. There's other stuff there on the same subject.
www.microsoft.com , and follow the links through Support. Search on windows update and also java.
AA
