This might not work, but it's worth a try.
Download Dial-a-Fix and run it. Select the 'Check all' (green arrow) and then hit 'GO.'
Reboot when done and see how things are now.
thanks cruch, will put that in my list.
are the windows 95 files..Wuv3is.dll,windows update controls, etc,
the same in XP?
the WUV3IS.DLL is in the C:I386 in XP
is this the same as wuv3is.dll in winnt
i don't want to remove something i shouldn't
i can't find the directions specific for XP pro
:confused::confused::confused:
just went to look at dial a fix, mentioned by crunchy
looks real promising...too good to be true ?
i can't try it for couple weeks, i am working on the problem 'puter
remotely. i should be there to do anything else. i've had no previous
trouble doing remote assist with the citrix[go to assist express] program and windows updates.
Solution to the problem:-
I simply turned on the Automatic Updates option (was previously off) and rebooted. Microsoft Update now worked.
I turned off Automatic Updates, which is what I want, and Microsoft Update still worked.
yay! i tried that last nite,well, at least your first part.sure 'nuf it worked.
i was not sure about going back to total manual updates,[automatic/off]
the way i want it.
seems like MS is kind of strong.arming the issue...
watch out for a total block on turning auto. off
we could call this case solved, for now, anyhoo.
