Tom, I started encountering the exact same problem as you did in December
2007. It only happens on my desktop computer. The laptop I have hooked to
the same cable modem network updates without any problems. And, I have not
disabled my McAfee anti-virus software on the laptop. I believe this problem
stems from an automatic (not requested) download of Microsoft Compression
Client 1.0 for Windows XP or Microsoft Silverlight, neither of which I
requested to download or install. I've unistalled Microsoft Silverlight and
still have the update problem. When I tried to remove Microsoft Compression
Client, it tells me that numerous programs may not run properly (several
Microsoft hotfixes and security updates manually downloaded), and many other
programs. So, I haven't removed that program. But, my laptop has Microsoft
Compression Client 1.0 installed and updates without any problems. My OS is
XP Home SP2. The assistance I received from Microsoft Support recommended
that I disable realtime viruse checking (did that, same results), then to
uninstall my ant-virus program (no way I'm doing that). So, I'll just
manually download and install new updates.
