Auto update problem

[Teriel9]

When Autoupdate is enabled there are multiple DCOM errors in the event
viewer.
When disabled I get the following error message
"The Automatic updates service failed to start due to the following error:
The executable program that this service is configured to run in does not
implement the service"
I went to the recommended MS site, but could not understand the fix given.
Can anyone please help
Win XP Home SP2
TIA

That's just a redirect link ... i.e. it goes through MS servers but does
not contain a URL. Was it this convoluted fix ?:

How to resolve problems that occur with the JET component and with the
MDAC component
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/870630

The DCOM errors *may* be a result of misconfigured services or a firewall.
Please go to Start > Run > type in

%windir%\windowsupdate.log

Hey Mow. I'm going to be near your locale next week. Email me, please. I've
lost your addy.

I tried sending it to your mvps.org addy and it bounced back.
Send me an email with my U/N at gmail, dude.

Hi Mow,
I finally solved the problem by downloading a new wuasp.dll file and then
running the following
%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall
132 %windir%\inf\au.inf
All is now well and thank you for your kind assistance
