Hi,

I recently did a full restore on my very old PC and when I try to update I get the message

[Error number: 0x80190194]
The website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page
you are trying to view.

I have tried to install a IE 8 to see if that worked but I cant install that either. I cannot install SP3 so cannot run the Mr fix-it.

Any help would be appreciated

right click on my computer and choose properties, what service pack is shown?

read the following and if you have an hp with amd processor you must install the patch before installing sp3

windows updates will not work without sp3 which you can only install manually.
