CL56 can't use Windows Update

post #1 of 15
Thread Starter 
I just installed my new WindowsXP Pro with SP1 on my new CL56, but somehow everytime I use Windows Update and scan my system, it gives me an error! I tried using Version 5 of Windows Update, but same thing! What should I do?

Is it a "legal" copy?

Make sure you have the language set in IE. I had a problem where it never found any updates, and after a few calls to Microsoft tech support, they narrowed it down to IE's language not being set, setting the language fixed it.

I never got an error though.

Legal all right - bought the OEM version.

Also make sure your time and date are set correctly.

Try lowering the security/privacy settings in IE, or make an exception for that particular site.

You probably need to upgrade to IE 6. The actual error message would help us diagnose your problem

I've encountered this before but it was some time back...will do my best to recall the resolution.

Are you sure its a legit copy? I've seen on eBay and Amazon both, people are selling illegally made copies as legit OEM versions. On Amazon you can click on the "New and used from $***" button where the other sellers sell used and new copies, and read feedback on the ones that look priced too good to be true. And they're all over on eBay, although they usually get found and ended before people get ripped.

Well I bought it from NewEgg for 90 bucks, so I don't think NewEgg personally sells pirated versions.
