Windows Forum / Windows Me / Software / August 2004updates from Microsoft site
I've tried to download and install updates from Microsoft. The installer cannot finish, yet everytime I restart my computer I'm told that there are updates to install. How can I delete or remove these problem updates and start from scratch by downloading it again? When I;ve tried to redownload I'm told the updates are already here. Mauck, Do you have Norton Antivirus or an other Symantec "product" installed or are you attempting to do the updating from an AOL "browser" ? If it's the former, the issue may be 1,000's of OEM*.inf files : Computer Stops Responding (Hangs) During Setup When You Install Updates... http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=281967 For the latter, open IE, click Tools, then Windows Update .

No mention of scanreg /restore in the KB article Mow referred to.
