Fact is, this month it's not even getting to first base.
Windows XP Pro SP2 box. When I ran WU in IE7, got notification that the
update software needed to be updated itself. Clicked on the Update Windows
button...don't recall for sure if one of the pale yellow bar warnings came
up; if it did I likely ok'd the warning...files downloaded, then supposedly
installed. But then the IE7 session stalls, and I then get the following:
[Error number: 0x80070005]

I've rerun this several times. Evidently, whatever TRIED to install the
first time around didn't try hard enough to get itself actually installed as
the progress report in IE seemed to indicate as it was running. So now I'm
stuck, and not sure what to do next (I have a few choice thoughts, but none
of them are repeatable in polite company, and do little to actuall FIX the
situation at hand). Any advice that might get this box into an updating mode
would be appreciated. TIA.
