Hi everybody, my XP3 SP3 (POSready 2009 registry hack) is not able to update any longer through the manual Windows Update. The windows update screen loads fine, and when I click on "custom" as I always have for years, "Checking for the latest updates for your computer..." and the green scrolling bar runs for hours until I turn off the computer. My last successful update was 2 or 3 weeks ago. Since then I ran Microsoft Fixit 50202 and tweaking.com windows repair. Still nothing... Is the server down at microsoft? I have Avast free which I turn off while trying to update, and connect o the internet through a router.
