Hi
Just attempted to install latest Windows update feature.
However during the initial download of the the update I
chickened out and cancelled the download. After reviewing
the Windows update feature I decided to give it another
try. While my computer was being analyzed to establish
whaat updates were required I recieved the following error
No 0x80072EFD. There is are similar errors posted by
Microsoft to troubleshoot this problem but none with the
same error No:
Any help appreciated in resolving this problem as I cannot
update Windows (although maybe this is not such a bad
thing)
Regards
Mal Dinsdale
