Re: Re: this sucks

I think the original poster is having the same problem as me ....

The windows update 'catalog' (as distinct from the normal windows update)
[ you'll find it via the administrator options on the windows update site] will
not find any new updates to download. It will search & find all updates up to
July but finds nothing after that.

That's a matter of (yet too unflexible) search terms.

Herein lies the difference. I notice the /v7/ in you link whereas up until a
few days ago I have been using /v4/ but using my 'usual' link today I am
presented with a screen to upgrade my catalogue software to /v7/. All searches
work fine now.
