i got a problem that i have never had a problem with
before. I normally try to update my windows once a month,
but when i went to update it today i got the
message "There are no updates available at this time".
The weird thing is, most of the time, when you
click "scan for updates" it scans 25% then 50% then 75%
and finially 100%. But when i go to scan my computer for
updates, it just goes from 0% to 100% and says there is
no updates. When i know for a fact there are updates,
wheter they be security, or just window updates. Is there
a way i can fix this so that i can get updates for my
computer? Please help me
 
I've had this problem occur on a couple of occasions by accident...please
check that the system date is correct for that machine and try again.

For your reference:

"Scan quickly reaches 100% and displays "There are no updates
available" message..."

Problem Description:
When you use the Windows Update scan feature, the scan quickly reaches 100%,
and then displays the "There are no updates available at this time" message.
The log file contains error 0x800c0008 or 0x80072EE4.

Resolutions:
The error is caused by SSL (Secure Socket Layer). The scan process requires
SSL and if the date and time on your computer varies too much from the valid
date and time of the SSL certificates on Windows Update, the process will
fail. Please verify that your computer's date and time are accurate and that
the Internet Explorer language option is not empty.

To check the language setting in Internet Explorer:
1. Click "Tools" and then select "Internet Options".
2. Click "Languages".
3. Make sure at least one language is listed in the "Language Options"
dialog box.

Please delete the Internet cache and cookies.
1. Click "Tools" and then select "Internet Options".
2. Click "Delete Cookies".
3. Click "Delete Files".

Issue Applies To:
Windows 2000
Windows XP

I hope that fixes it,
Simon.
