Title: Another Microsoft Puzzle

*Windows Media Store Update Manager has Stopped Working

*Windows can check online for a solution to the problem

*Check online for a solution (recommended)

* Close

At least four times a day for the past two weeks.

So I click on "Check on line" and the "window" goes away.

I give up saying check online and click on Close and the window goes away.

WFT?

Check MS site for hotfix - these are not always automatic.

Well THAT didn't work  cussing:

Went to M/S Site and installed EVERY download, patch etc available (there were 4 "optionals" that I had not previously installed and only 4). The problem persists.

Have you googled it?

Possible solution:

Disable Windows Media Center Store Update Manager  (http://www.dotnetgoodies.com/article/Microsoft_Vista/48/Windows_Media_Center_Store_Update_Manager_has_Stopped_Working_and_was_Closed.aspx)

Thanks Uncle ~ That worked up to 6 when I had to right click and then select "disable". The right click produces nothing, zilch, zippo, f***all.

I shall give up and content myself with echoing Nick's sentiments and kicking the PC tower.





Controlling my temper I have been through the procedure again and this time have disabled the thing.  cloud9:
