The new windows update was working fine until today when suddenly the message below came out. I tried to click Update Now several times. It appears to update but the same message keep coming out. Even after I closed IE6 and restart Windows Update function, the message keep coming out. Why? Please help. Thank you.
New Windows Update Software Required
The Windows Update site has been updated. To update your version of the software and begin using Windows Update, click Update Now.
yes it was also updated for win-me also.
looks the same as the one for xp, now.
my xp update just had me ok a couple new
installs, for update.

Try opening the "Program Files" folder and locating the "Windows Update" folder and then deleting the "Windows update" folder.
This will clear all the old files and force Windows Update to download all new control files. (It may take a reboot and several tries to get it working OK.)

I tried wht u told me many times. But the same message appear each time asking me to update now. If appears to be downloading & installing and then it went back to the same message "New Windows Update Software Required" "The Windows Update site has been updated. To update your version of the software and begin using Windows Update, click Update Now"

I did not even realize that the Windows Update site had changed to yesterday when I went there . I believe I was successful in updating the software for the new update software. My complaint is that , under veiwing your update history , everything is gone.I have an ATI Graphics card and it had as one of my recomended updates a driver update from ATI ? I guess this new update site is inter connected with other tech co. ? I did not install the driver update . I figure everthing is working why mess with it .Plus I dont have DirectX 8.1 installed and there is a good chance this update requires it. Try sending Microsoft an email about your problem , they are usally good about helping with this kind of problem!

Could be that update problem is connected to IE 6. I retained IE 5.5 SP 2 by choice and updated untel chip driver with no problem. I can also view installion history. I have not updated active-X because why mess with it when ME runs fine for me. Less is better.
MS really wants you to upgrade to XP, no doubt about it.

I also visited Windows Update yesterday and noticed the difference in the site, (better site) I successfully downloaded and installed one update.
Note the asterisk * after the OS indicating that this must be installed separately from other updates (I believe I first had to use the Remove button to remove one update before downloading and installing).
