I run W2k pro. Of late, when I run the windows update programme , it starts
looking for updates ok but never comes back, it just keeps on searching until
I close the window. Any ideas?

how long do you leave it? I've seen win2k take over 10 mins to finish searching for updates

This happened to me last night after I installed xp it found the updates and when I clicked download it wouldnt download them, I rebooted and tried again and it worked.

I usually find automatic updates get them better than going to the windows update site.

What version of xp are you running - is service pack 2 installed and what is your connection speed as some of the updates are huge files
