Everytime I use Windows Update now it says "Download and installation failed" everytime I try to use the update feature to download the latest fixes and updates. Why is it doing this?

odd it used to be up there i dont know what happened to it. But yeah try deleting your temp files and cookies. If that doesnt work then i guess you will have to just manually update.

Ok, that sounds like a good idea. I'll delete any Active X controls and delete the contents of my Windows Update folder.

In IE, go to Tools -> Internet Options
In the temporary internet files section, click "Settings..."
Click "View objects..."
That will show all installed plugins including downloaded activex controls. Remove them all.

Well folks, that didn't do it. I deleted the content of my windows update folder and removed all the ActiveX controls. God damnit this is ****ing me off. I thank everyone for their help though.
