Unable to Connect: Windows is unable to connect to the automatic updates service and therefore cannot download and install updates according to the set schedule. Windows will continue to try to establish a connection.

That was all that was in there - this is from Event Viewer by the way.

Weird stuff :S google gives quite some hit on that phrase though. Mostly mentioning firewall, dns issues, etc.

It seems it was a firewall issue - Windows Firewall (yes, it's own firewall!) was blocking it from installing updates.

21% now. I just disable it, hit install updates and then re-enable it and all is well for the moment.

I've been trying to find a good set of headphones for ages. Not sure what brand to go for either.

Sennheiser RS120's are leading the way so far. Cool charging dock plus a 2 year warranty. Mainly going to be for TV use.

They look great - I did see a pair of Sennheiser's the other day for $35 or so, proper headphones but wasn't sure whether popping down that much and getting mediocre sound quality out of them was worth it. I guess with MP3s you're not gonna get awesome quality but at least one would hope it was half-decent.

There are the RS110's also but they lose the all black appearance, run on standard batteries and don't come with this charging stand that the RS120's have.
