Hi,
I'm using an HP Pavilion 545x. I ran lavasoft's adaware
and spybot s&d and norton anti-virus. All updated. I went
to HP's site and followed the instructions for updating
their software before installing SP2. The update stalls
at "Checking for New Software". I thought it might get
fixed with SP2 so I installed that after running the above
mentioned programs. The same thing happens - update
stalls. In the Security Center it says Automatic updates
is turned on, but when I try to access the auto update
feature by right clicking My Computer, left clicking
Properties, then clicking Automatic Updates the tab won't
come up and the Properties window goes blank.
Any help would be appreciated!
