check your date - sounds crazy BUT after I clicked on the Scan for Updates link, WU would bomb and say it couldn't scan. I found a discussion group and someone mentioned the date. I checked mine and sure enough, the time was right but the date was about 10 months ago. Corrected the date and WU worked perfectly.... go figure!
