Help! anybody out there had this problem: No progress bar at Windows update. (win XP home, SP2, IE 7) No green progress bar scrolls when attempting to check for updates at Windows Update. However the space for the progress bar is present. After a 60 to 90 second wait a window opens advising there are no priority updates available for my computer. So I am assuming the update is working but without the progress bar indicating it is searching.

I've tried multiple suggestions, Dial-A-Fix, others found on the internet, and from Microsoft Technical help. All to no avail. Sure would like to figure this one out. Also have a problem trying to get my desktop icons to be transparent, but will make that another post when I get the first one solved. Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem too sometimes and my updates work also.

I think it depends on what theme you are running, why dont you try it with the original XP Luna theme
