You receive a "Windows Update has encountered an error and cannot display the requested page" error message when you try to install an update: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/883614 What anti-virus application or security suite is installed on each computer and is each subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall (if any)? Has a(another) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on any of the computers (e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought it)? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ How do I reset Windows Update components?

That was the fix. KB979906 & KB979909 updates just wouldn't work. I went through all the various fixes (dotnet cleanup and reinstalls, add/remove programs and reinstalls) and they still failed. So I tried the above Fix It and on reboot and update one more time they took. No Joy has just turned to Much Joy. I suggest others maybe give this Fix It a chance and see what happens. It can't hurt.

[HORRORS!] Because of protests, Welk then tried (and failed) to get Alice Lon back. After a year of the show's trying out several different singers, [Norma] Zimmer officially joined the Welk show as his Champagne Lady on New Year's Eve, 1960."
