Windows Update Stalls at 0%

Very odd. I put XP on a few friends machines for them from here and wasn't able to use Windows Update through cable modem.

WU page loads and offers to scan, but it just hangs at 0%, when it used to fly through it and give me the updates.

Now I have found this is happening to my machine, which has it's own unique key.

Has anyone had a similar xperience?

I've changed the key, changed the IP of the cable modem, and WU is going to v4 of the update site.
 
there are a few probs with windowzz update as they move it to version 5. just hang on and all should be fine:p
 
I have had problems with Windows Update as well but this was when it was behind a proxy, just a tip, turning on Http 1.1 through Proxy Connections can solve that problem.

Just thought I would pass this bit of info along.
 
i still cant get on, even with 1.1 proxy enabled.. it DID give me new updates to the WU client,but still hangs at 0%
 
I had that problem once.
Clear your Internet cache.

Then navigate to:
C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files

Delete "Update Class"

Retry.
 
Thanks for the replies. I tried both of the suggestions:

1.1 through proxy
clear IE cache and delete update class from D/L Prog Files

Problem still stands!

It is hitting http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp for the update.

"Windows Update is looking for available updates... 0% complete"

Is the screen that gives me grief.

What is the release time on v5 WU?

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???
