Avant Browser Can't Access Windows Update?

When I go to Windows Update it says "Access Denied"

What's up?

just a guess

By any chance, Are you suing Avant's Built-in Proxy setup?

Avant used to give me those errors when I was using the proxy setup.

No... just checked and I'm not...

Microsoft is probably picky with how you update Windows, you need to use standalone IE. Try just using standalone IE and see what happens.

 

[allbusiness]

still failed

 

[Perris Calderon]

turn off all your pop up stoppers, make sure trhe service is enabled, try turning off the firewall.

stuff like that

Almost positive that you have to use IE to get to Windows Update. If it is still failing using IE then something else is wrong. Sorry not much help here.

 

[Perris Calderon]

you do have to use ie

 

[allbusiness]

what's the service name

 

[Tuffgong4]

failing with me too and I use Avant as well

 

[Tuffgong4]

even in IE

 

[Perris Calderon]

try enabling automatic uodates and see if the computer will do it autromatucally

browse with ie or leave ie running with the service enabled

Works just fine using the latest version of avant for me.

You need Cryptographic Services set to Automatic to use Windows Update. Also make sure you clock is set to the correct date and time.

See if this does anything>

Windows Update - Error

If you cannot update XP check your c:\windows\windows update.log. If you have this error: Error 0x800C0008 then go to Tools\internet options\languages. You must have one language selected. Boom windows update works again!

Or for LAN settings

Go to control panel, open up Internet Options\Connections. Click on the Lan Settings button at the bottom right of the window. Untick Automatically detect settings.
