From: Tim on 27 Sep 2009 13:13 Thanx for your help. It'd be nice if MS could include something in their reject message saying Vista can't be used on that page as a general message suggests the solutions for that error may work.

So, if you go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ using Internet Explorer on your WIndows Vista machine, it does not say, "Use your Start menu to check for updates Windows Update is now included in Control Panel. In the future, to check for updates (or if this webpage doesn't open Windows Update automatically): Click the Start button, click All Programs, and then click Windows Update." ?? -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
