I'm on a school network and when I tried to use my computer, it said I needed the latest updates, as it always says, before I can access the Internet. But on the Windows Update site it just appears to load the updates I'll need (the green bar scrolls across) but after about 15 minutes, it just gives me an error code (0x80072F78).
Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this? I thought maybe I could download the updates from my friends computer that I'm on now and put them on my computer with a floppy disk but I don't know how to do that either.
I have contacted Microsoft but they haven't given me a solution that works yet.

My automatic updates is on, and has always been but my computer makes me go to the site anyway.
And nothing has ever stopped it before. I've been going to the update site every two weeks for two years and its worked.
And I don't need all of the updates ever...from my friends recent update list there's only 6 or 7 updates I need so I thought maybe I could put them on one at a time?

your guest restrictions on installing anything are very limited, the admin needs to login and make the updates to the system.

The updates would never fit on floppy disks - you'd need hundreds of them!
Try turning on automatic updates rather then going to the windows update website.

Its because of the school proxy server.
