windows update issues...

hey, i'm kinda wondering, and anyone who's helped me before should know i tend to fuck things up :'(, why does windows always freeze when i try to update...the process i take...1. restart to finish installing updates...it says, preparing to configure windows, and freezes,3.manual shutdown...4. start windows normally...then it modifies the registry, then it reboots, and installs updates from 30%.... am i doing something wrong?hardware...it's posted everywhere :(OS: win 7 ultimate 64bit...if anyone knows why this could be happening, please, tell me....

Maybe you should give it time to update?
I never have updated my systems at all. :PWell, I can't update my Windows OS' due to them missing the update manager and not being totally legal...
But my Linux systems are no problem. ::)

well...it just freezes, i just let it sit there for 5 hours, it never changed....

Oh my...and is this copy legit? And was it registered properly?

it's legit....(am i safe here?) the serial isn't.....but i've used it before, and it always updated fine..... but yea, it's an MSDN disk.... i used 7loader to register, just like before, and it always updated properly....

Hmmm...I'm not sure then...maybe Loony will know.

hahaha..... but yea, the disk (copy) is legit. ::)

I do not know anything but maybe it is windows 7 unique bug? ;D

You could have used a program to completely get rid of the Windows 7 activation and crap. :P
Don't know if it allows you to update though. I will not say what it is. Google is your friend.
(I was playing Portal for the first time and got into it. :P )

My copy of 7 is not legit but it updates no problem.
just look on tpb for the most seeded one

My copy of W7 updated perfectly,but I dont know about the slic or wat types as I aint used them.I did go onto Microsofts site once and downloaded a program that was supposed to be used for dual booting w7/xp and that collared me-but running a restore backup sorted that out.

windows update has a tendency to not work at times. I've not noticed it with win7 but ive seen it with xp a lot.

good to know i didn't fuck something up again!

see if you can manually download and install the latest windows update client. Doing that has been known to fix persistent windows update problems.
