Is anyone having problems getting windows update to work with the Asus p4p
800 e deluxe mainboard? 3 ghz pentium 4 processor and 2 gig of ram mem.
This unit will work with windows update for awhile and then it stops. We've
repaired windows as well as having started over fresh to no avail. I'm
wondering if this could be a bios problem?

Hi,

I doubt it very much.

Your description is a tad short though. For example, when WU fails can you
still browse other web sites, use email, or use any other internet related
s/w? You don't indicate the type of connection - is it xDSL, dialup or
other?

The fault could lie anywhere including your ISP, outer or modem if any, web
browser - it could be hijacked.

What exactly happens when WU fails?

So, check the obvious first. If you do not have AV or antispyware, or its
not up to date start there.

I have a system with a similar issue. The first time the WU loaded
it half completed then stopped--ever since, WU will not start at
all. There is no other issue event--browser works, etc. I think
nothing short of a full reinstall of XP will deliver the full
update. But no problemo--updates are not necessary, I have found,
on security matters so long as the firewall is enabled and Windows
Messanger is disabled.

Windows update succeeding or failing is not a hardware problem.
Windows update comes and goes, and while it is usually available
sometimes you will get the "Thank you for your interest in Windows
Update" followed by instruction to do what you just did. That will, of
course, bring you back to the same screen again. Try it again
tomorrow.

What failure message or symptom are you getting in detail please.
