I dug out an old, little-used netbook that my wife had used for a course and no longer uses. I want to hook it to my wi-fi weather station to put it on Weather Underground's network. The machine hadn't been used in two years. It runs something the Windows 7 "Starter Edition" - which was ok last time we used it. Since it hadn't been updated in two years, I clicked to check for updates. Two and a half hours later, it's still checking. Any idea where the problem lies? ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Get the Microsoft repair tool for error 8007000e. I had the same issue and that's the fix that worked. --- ViaMAIL!/WC v2.00 * Origin: ViaMAIL! - Lightning Fast Mailer for Wildcat! (1:261/20) .
