Hi all,
Everytime I dwnload windows update, i get this message: Windows is unable to update file from 2% to 1%
I read the advice on the forum to delete the wininit.exe file and copy from the install CD. I did that. Rebooted, installed the update, but same problem!

You may need to enable "show hidden files" to see wininit but if you don't have it your OS wouldn't work! http://www.computing.net/windowsme/wwwboard/forum/18059.html note - if you do not have file extensions enabled, the file you are looking for is called wininit Also see http://computing.net/windowsme/wwwboard/forum/19774.html http://www.computing.net/windowsme/wwwboard/forum/36281.html (if the problem persists)
