unable to install updates

When I go to microsoft too check for updates and click on either custom or

express, it gets stuck on "Checking your computor for the latest version of

updates" and the green bar keeps scanning as if it is checking.

I am using IE6 with windows NT and active x is enabled and under services,

automatic updates and messenger are enabled.

I could do updates until about a week ago.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Bobby

Hello Bobby,

>> and the green bar keeps scanning as if it is checking.<<

 

The most likely cause is that the Background Intelligent Transfer Service

(BITS) is not working properly, isn't started, or needs upgrading.

 

 

Dial ª- Fixit is NOT for Vista-

 

Try this

 

Suggest cleaning up the system (clearing out all the Temp/Tmp folders, and

included all offline content, clearing the browser TIF, Delete Cookies , do a

Disk CleanUp.

 

Please confirm your system clock and Time Zone also the Date set properly,

 

Dial-ª- Fix

http://wiki.djlizard.net/Dial-a-fix

 

Run this program with all the functions activated.

Scroll down about 2/3 of the way to Download Dial-a-fix

 

 

I hope this post is helpful.

 

Let us know how it works ºut.

When searching for available updates on the Update site, you see the 0x8007043B error

http://update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate/v6/showarticle.aspx?articleid=19&ln=en&IsMu=False

 

or

 

 

"Checking for updates, depending on your speed this process may take several minutes"

Try registering the following:

 

Click Start, select Run and type (pressing enter after each one and wait for the success

message):

 

net.exe stop wuauserv

Press Ok

 

Repeat for the following:

regsvr32 wuapi.dll

regsvr32 wups.dll

regsvr32 wuaueng.dll

regsvr32 wuaueng1.dll

regsvr32 wuweb.dll

regsvr32 jscript.dll

regsvr32 wucltui.dll

regsvr32 msxml3.dll

regsvr32 softpub.dll

regsvr32 atl.dll

 

net.exe start wuauserv

Hi Engel,

I was unable to download dial-a-fix. I got a popup window that says file

unavailable.

Hi Bobby,

 

Sounds like something is deliberately interfering with your downloads,

perhaps malware, perhaps not. Maybe the server was busy at the time when you

try. I test the Primary download location link right now and is ready to D/L

 

Try to D/L the file using a different PC. The size of the file is small,

only 328 kb and copy the file to your PC

 

Be sure your system is clean before you try to D/L the updates from Microsoft.

 

Have you try the solution given by TaurArian. What happen?
