Updates: the simple fix for me.

I'm no techie, but I read a lot last week when we were having various

trouble-symptoms after installing anew or re-installing Windows XP atop

itself. Some cases had ~76 updates we could not install others had ~95

still others had ~ 36 and even as few as 9 and 4.

The following is something I tried after finding it on a ng forum. Hope

it helps others--if it does, PLEASE read other posts and copy/paste the

procedure in answer to them (as well as back here to let others know if it

worked for your symptoms or not), as since it was a simple fix for me, it

may be also for others.

 

"I have just tried the suggestion below, recommended by Bob ((leanin' cedar)

in a previous email on this site (see Joe Medford - 8.10.07) - it worked.

 

1. Click on Start and then click Run,

2. In the open field type "REGSVR32 WUAPI.DLL" (without quotation marks) and

press Enter.

3. When you receive the "DllRegisterServer in WUAPI.DLL succeeded" message,

click OK.

4. Please repeat these steps for each of the following commands:

REGSVR32 WUAUENG.DLL

REGSVR32 WUAUENG1.DLL

REGSVR32 ATL.DLL

REGSVR32 WUCLTUI.DLL

REGSVR32 WUPS.DLL

REGSVR32 WUPS2.DLL

REGSVR32 WUWEB.DLL"......Good luck to all, s

Thanks for posting this, I'm going to save it in the event of

trouble. I would caution you, though, in misusing what appear to

be Registry Service DLLs unless you really need to. Yes, yes,

yes, I know I'm overly cautious, but I'm also trouble-free and I

like life that way. <grin>

I had the same problem and cured it by start>control panel>security> then

changing Automatic Update to "Download updates for me, but let me choose when

to install them"

The downloads then installed.

I think the root of the problem is that by default the Automatic Update

install was set to 03:00 which meant that any downloads carried had to wait

for the correct time to install. This was evident from looking at the Windows

update log, so I have now changed this to19:00
