Windows update keeps popping in and stalls at 1%. I kill it with task manger but it comes back again and again. This is getting old very quickly.

magic dust. you get the magic dust by bringing the witch a toadstool.
or you could reboot, check your LAN connection to see if you are connected, or if all else fails just call support...

Procedure to cure the problem:
Open windows temp file. Dump entire contents to trash. EMPTY trash - otherwise windows thinks the file is still there. Why? I dunno. Idiot windows?
Go to security center, change time to current time for download.
Only allow the custom component to download that was causing the problem. In my case it was windows java virtual machine. Discover that the downloaded version is the same damn thing that you have installed. Microsoft does things by date and not what is on your machine. Let it download and now it works instantly as you have it on your machine already. For some dumb reason doing things automaticaly causes the download to hang. Where is my sledgehammer for the programmer that wrote the download program. I want to adjust his settings by crushing his skull.

B8 please... for the love of christ stop doing that. the definition thing. Ask just about any regular on the forums, they despise it. If they don't know what anything means, they can just go buy a freaking dictionary... or they are ON THE INTERNET ALREADY. THEY CAN USE A SEARCH ENGINE> EVERYONE ABOVE AGE 14 HAS ALL OF THE DEFINED WORDS IN THEIR VOCABULARY> YOU THINKING THAT WE NEED DEFINITIONS IS VERY VERY OFFENSIVE.
uh... the end.

I have to say, I kinda like watching Agent freak out from definitions.....I wonder if thats a phobia. Fear of definitions. Hmm I'll google it!
Hmmm I can't find anything really...but I think an Anglophobic Lutraphobic is kinda funny.
Anglophobia- Fear of England or English culture, etc.
Lutraphobia- Fear of otters.
