Re: Updates Not Being Installed.

Hello Mr. Shernan stanley,

The delay in replying is deeply regretted, reason being pressure of work.

I have downloaded Dial-a-Fix. My problem is that I experienced difficulty in
downloading Update v3 so I had to abort. I keep getting the message "Windows
cannot show this page" with reasons for for that disability. So I am stuck a
bit at the moment. I am suprised I got to this page because I got through
after more than 7 times of trying.

Further I am not IT savy and do not know about using command lines eg.,
switch to "/wuforce" How is that done?

I will keep trying to get the Windows update v3, Meanwhile I shall
appreciate if you can advise me on the us of "/wuforce.

With many thanks.
