Automatic Broadband Update Problems

I have a laptop that connects to the internet through a
Microsoft MN-720 wireless-G card wia my desktops MN-700
Base Station.

My laptop keeps receiving the automatic update message on
my task bar whenever I connect to the internet.

However, when I click on it to get the updates it always
opens a blank window with the following message in the
lower right side: "Done, but with errors."

Since the automatic update message keeps coming back I am
assuming it is not working.

Anyone know what gives?

Anyone know what I need to do to resolve the issue below??

Have you tried manually downloading the file and doing the installation. It
is
available from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/br...DLoadMain.mspx If
you're running Windows XP on the laptop, you don't need the front-end
software because you can use Wireless Zero Configuration, which is much
better, with only the drivers.

Thanks for the reply Chris.

I think I need to be more clear on my information.

Whenever I open the Microsoft Broadband Network Utility the following
message appears:

"Critical updates are now availiable for your Microsoft Broadband Network
components. Would you like to start the update process now? Yes or No."

This happens everytime I logon, even though I click yes everytime.

I do not know which file I should download manually from the Microsoft
Download site.

If I do not need the update, then is there a way to get this annoying little
message to stop appearing?

Thanks

If you're on Windows XP, uninstall the Broadband Networking utility in Add
or Remove Programs. You don't need it because you can use Wireless Zero
Configuration (Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Services) to handle
anything of the wireless adapter.
