    What do the log-files say? Maybe the update-servers are temporarily unavailable?

    wobble987, I actually got the exact same error message awhile ago before I even saw your post. I ran System Update 3.14 for WinXP twice and I got that message. I thought my installation was corrupt so I reinstalled TVSU and rebooted. Now instead of the first error message I get another saying the update servers are unavailable.

    I got the same message when trying to update my old T60 with a fresh factory OS reset. Tried a couple of times and gave up.

    just to update on the issue.

    the problem has been fixed. i just finished updating few minutes ago.

    the TVSU seems to be down when last time i query the server.

    it server seems to be back on line now :).
