Post by: vtrdaz on January 09, 2006, 22:18:56

Had to recently reinstall everything from scratch on the p.c (format hard disk), but now windows update won't download any of the updates because it say's i've already done it.
Is there any way so i can re- install them?
Cheers
Darren

Try this

Open internet explorer.
Click on tools
Click on Internet options
Click on programs
Click on Manage add-ons
Near to the bottom of the list you will see “Windows Genuine Advantage”
Left click on it and then chose to disable it at the bottom.

Now you can update windows ok.

Is it possible that they were downloaded while you were distracted installing other things.

But then would n't they show up on the add/remove menu?

On the 'add/remove programs' screent here is a box at the top for 'show updates' - is it ticked?
