when i go on windows update after i click agree it stops at the beginning and doesn't start downloading or installing. i went into the windows update log and it said error: 0x801901F7
what does that mean?? anyone know?? thanks!
 
I did find something that may help but am unsure of the method. The users did say however that it worked.

Locate the file loadwc.exe in your Windows/System folder; rename it
to DONTloadwc.exe. You could as easily rename it something else, but this
mane is easy to remember and find at a later time.
[It may be necessary at some future time to change the name back. The
file itself can be used by certain programs to perform web tasks, but I
can't say which ones.

3. Open regedit. Go to
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WebCheck] and
make the following changes
"LoadSENS"="no"
"LoadLCE"="no"

This only works under 98 i belive, any referance to this issue i could find only releated to 98.

There is a step by step test and repair at:

Nothing i noticed specific to this issue however (i did not look hard you may want to)

Other people have said that using this link works in correcting a simular error:

http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp?page=productupdates&sec=criticalupdates

Or via the secure server:

https://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp (a popular fix for problems)

Also you may want to try (if present on ur OS)

Deleting C:\Program Files\Windows Update and iuctl.dll from your system this should cause the active x control to be re-installed.

Some things to try but i cant verify any of them im affraid.

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???
