I don't see "World Wide Web Publishing Service" in the services list either, nor is inetinfo.exe running. I'm not familiar with the term MMC -- I may know it as something else.

I have IIS installed and it was running, but now it is not even listed in the SERVICES list. When I look at Add/Remove Windows Components, IIS is listed with a greyed checked box. Any idea how I can get it running again? Thanks

Well, I switched AutoUpdate to autoDownload and I haven't seen any updates yet to be installed. So my AutoUpdate is on the fritz. Are there any services besides AU that must be running to allow AU do do it's thing?

After a couple days of watching the folders, it looks like that reference did the trick! Thanks Peter! Walt

The latest update request is back. It's for KB832894 The Windows Update.Log for today contains: 2004-02-06 15:42:54 21:42:54 Success IUENGINE Starting 2004-02-06 15:42:55 21:42:55 Success IUENGINE Determining machine configuration 2004-02-06 15:42:58 21:42:58 Success...

How do I tell? Once the fix is supposed to be downloaded, I have no idea what to look for. I don't keep a record of the number (I can next time it arrives) but to date I don't know where the download is placed, whether or not it gets installed, how to check if it is installed. So far, none of...

six3077: There have been 3 critical updates this year. Is it possible that you haven't had the latest one? (for IE) OK, it's been 3. Of course it's possible. They won't download. THAT's the problem. Why won't they download is my question. And the latest one for IE is the current one that...

I have a couple folders on my desktop, one of which has about 6 items in it. I have the folder options set to "Remember each folder's view settings". I don't think this is waht I want, but it's set. I size the folder display to be just large enough to display the entries, and the...

Not yet, linney. I already know HOW to set up Auto Update. I want to know why when updates are ready to download and I have notification properly set, they do not download. Standard instructions are of no help in this situation. bcastner, the last two updates have not worked (the last one...

Simply control. They've had updates that were wrong and I'd rather install when I'm sure their "fix" is correct. It used to work before downloading, I like to know why it doesn't now. Walt

Up to December, when the AutoUpdate icon showd up in the system tray, I could start the download if I wanted it. Then when it was downloaded, the icon would come back so I could install the update. Now, I start the download, and a day or two later the icon returns, and the update is ready for...

I could tell, Rory ;-) Thanks for the info, Krale. After posting I found out what a winmodem really was -- essentially a crippled piece of hardware to save $. I didn't see anything on the Conexant page, and linmodems.org implied my modem might work but no guarantees (at least I think that's...

Thanks, WMG, that was it. I never expected the system to install a 'stereo' app with one channel off, so I didn't think to try that. Silly Me! Thanks again.

Thanks FM, I'll check out linmodems.org. I remember years ago that a WinModem, unless I'm mistaken, simply meant it was a modem with windows drivers and the 'Win' was sales fluff. So what does the hardware do special that requires Windows? It seems to me there should be drivers that can be...
