This is driving me mad:
Neither, Windows Update or automatic updates are working.
Haven't received any autoupdates in like a month or so. SETTINGS ARE CORRECT. (Trust me)
Windows Update scans my system normally, but shows none to download. I have XP SP1 and haven't gotten any other updates in a month or so either. The page looks like everything's in order (takes a while scanning, no errors etc...), but just doesn't show any needed updates.
I have Sygate Personal Firewall, all the settings should be OK, haven't touched them in a while, and the page "has access" or whatever. I'd be VERY surprised if the problem is with my FW.
I have NOT downloaded or installed any new software in a looong while that could have this effect.
Please, someone help me! TY in advance.
P.S. If it's news to anyone, Microsoft's online "help" and all customer care and all that suck. And that too drives me mad. Everything on their pages look and feel like ads. I feel a new Linux user waking up inside ;)
