    windows update not working

    Hi
    I wonder whether anyone can help. I cannot seem to update windows automatically. Pop up boxes keep appearing telling me that windows updates is faulty and also something called bonjour is not working for updating windows.

    Thanks

    "For Windows 2000, XP, follow these steps:

    Click Start, click Run, type notepad in the Open box, and then click OK.
    Copy the following commands, and then paste them into the Notepad file:

    net stop wuauserv
    CD %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution
    Ren Download Download.old
    net start wuauserv


    On the File menu, click Save as. In the File name box, type rename.bat, and then click All Files in the Save as type box. Save the rename.bat file to the desktop.
    Double-click the rename.bat file to register the Windows Update files."


    Sorry I can't help much with Vista. It was pre-loaded on my new Desktop machine, and after 2 hours I blew it away and loaded XP SP2.
