Problems downloading Windows Updates

[Shodin10k]

I reformatted my system the other day, and right now, the message pops up where it says "download updates" and when i click to download them and update them, it doesn't do anything. Usually i see the shield and the download percentage, but now i don't see it stay up anymore. Think the windows update servers are down?

Oh, this is the first instance this has happened to me, before it would always download everything and update everything just fine.

any ideas?

Have you tried going to the Windows Update site. Downloading from there should re-synchronize the automatic update icon.

If that doesn't work, clear out your IE cache and temp files.

also clear out this folder: C:\Program Files\WindowsUpdate (make sure Internet Explorer is not open)
