I noticed that some people are having problems with Windows Update.
Here are two things you can do that may solve your problem:

1) Delete Windows Update controls and reinstall them:
Information on how to do this is located here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;q319585
AND/OR
2) Add Windows Update to your Local Intranet Zone
To do this, just follow these steps:
a) Open IE, click Tools>Internet Options
b) In the Security tab, click the Local Intranet icon and click the "Sites" button
c) Click the Advanced... button in the dialog box that opens up
d) Type in this website and click Add:
http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com
e) Click OK and restart the browser.

Try one or both of these and see if Windows Update works for you. Post your responses here.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
