VS.NET 2003 check updates not working?

I've read several articles on the internet regarding the "Check Updates"
problem from within VS.NET IDE. I'm having the exact same problem as many
others where if I select "Check Updates", I get the following error message:

Visual Studio .NET 2003 setup encountered errors while attempting to
download required files. Check your Web Browser configuration settings and
your configuration hardware, and then try again.

I've tried what many others have (and failed) by turning my IE security
settings down to low and even allowing cookies (all), but this did NOT
resolve the problem. Some of the messages I read say I have to call
Microsoft for a hot patch??? Huh? That just doesn't sound correct. Also
tried to regsvr32 on the URLMON.DLL, that sorta worked but not really -- it
returns the same error, but if I hit Retry 3 times it will finally work and
returns "No Updates" available.

Anyone know exactly what is causing this problem?

Rob.

I have a puzzling form timer problem that I didn't experience prior to Access 2003 (though I'm not sure access 2003 is to blame). Here's the situation: a computer has two access 2003 databases on it, a frontend and a backend. Case 1: If vba code on the frontend updates many rows (360,000) on the backend, a form's timer event (from the frontend) will stop firing until the user gives the form focus. (Note that the update itself always...

We have an Access 2000 MDB with a SQL 7 back end. We are upgrading SQL Server to SQL 2005, and are considering upgrading to Access 2003. Someone mentioned that they had heard about some incompatibilities between Access 2003 and SQL Server 2005. Anyone hear of anything? And, if so, would staying with Access 2000 be better? Thanks! Neil

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Dear forum friends, With the development of smart home technology, a variety of wireless communication protocols have appeared on the market, such as Zigbee, Z-Wave, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc. Each protocol has its own unique characteristics and advantages, but as a user who is planning to build a smart home system, I am a bit confused by the choice of these technologies.

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
