Microsoft Update has been giving me
problems. It was stalled all day on a
percentage of the download and even a
restart or shutdown seems to diminish its
menacing mediocrity. I keep my computer
clean with anti-spyware, anti-spyware,
anti-malware, and defrag and check disk
on very regular basis. I am careful to
stay on legitimate channels and am
cautious for infringement and attacks.
Then my clients have to suffer at the
hand of my slow computer for long
stretches at a time because of a faulty
microsoft update system? So then I went
once again to the microsoft update site
but forgot that it doesn’t work with
mozilla firefox, so now I am doing it
with IE. Again the same high priority
update is detected as needed. And now
the update icon that had become
non-functional after I instructed it to
download the update has finally
disappeared. I decide to use the install
trigger from the web page though since its
not clear that it has downloaded. This
time it is loading at a normal pace and I
get this update was not installed type
window with the name of the same high
priority update WTF? Close. Then that
window won’t respond by closing. Finally
a solid restart from the start bar (no
Ctrl-Alt-Del/Logoff needed, yipee), and
the system has no update icon present
upon startup. Still I wonder if I have
the update.
