when I open windows update, I get the page and it comse up saying: Checking for the latest version of the Windows Update software...

Depending on your connection speed, this might take a minute. During this time, you may receive one or more security warnings. Review each security warning to ensure that the content is signed by Microsoft, and then click Install or Yes to install the software.

It then says done in the bottom left corner and nothing else happens - no button to install or anything.

The Windows update log file seems okay except for one line that says: AutoUpdate failed: error 0x800401f3.

I tried their support for updates and couldn't find anything about this type of error

If you are using AOL or a firewall, disable the firewall. And if you are using AOL minimize it and open internet explorer and try to use update. AOL downloads to a temp file and some fire walls will not let incoming files that will exacute.

SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to send a daily summary or a test message in Outlook Mobile Manager, the connection wizard may take a long time to attempt to send the message (as if the system has stopped responding), and then you may receive the following error message:
Mobile Manager could not save your changes. Please exit and restart.
Click Help, and then click Troubleshooting; the following error message is logged:
A MAPI error occurred. (Error Code: 0x80040113)

The description for the error lists error code 1217, which indicates:
The connection to the Exchange server has been lost. There is a network problem or the Exchange server is offline. Contact your network administrator.
At this point, you must exit Outlook Mobile Manager, close the system tray icon, and then restart Outlook Mobile Manager to reconnect to your Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server or Microsoft Exchange Server computer.
CAUSE
This issue can occur if network connectivity is disconnected, which prevents contact with the Exchange 2000 or Exchange Server computer. This issue can occur if the server is unavailable, or if a cable, network adapter, or other network problem exists.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, check your network connectivity to ensure that you can still connect to your Exchange 2000 or Exchange Server computer and other network shares. If this issue persists after you restart Outlook Mobile Manager, consult your network administrator.
