Windows Update

[Guest]

I just installed Service Pack 1 on my computer under Windows XP Pro. Now when
I go to the windows update site it just says:

Checking for the latest version of the Windows Update software...

Depending on your connection speed, this might take a minute. During this
time, you may receive one or more security warnings. Review each security
warning to ensure that the content is signed by Microsoft, and then click
Install or Yes to install the software.
....
And it just stays there! the page says its done and no other windows come
up. I don't have any popup blockers installed , so is there anything I can do
to get my windows updated?

This may be caused by a third-party firewall product called Zone Alarm. Try disabling
this program and opening the Windows Update site again. Be sure to enable your
firewall again when you are done.
