nass...
I followed the path
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate, but I
do not seem to have a WindowsUpdate folder in the Windows folder of the
register
I then followed HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Services\Update.... in the Update
folder all entries are identical to what you list.
I went through all the register commands and all loaded except I got an
error message for cryptsvc.dll...it read "cryptsvc.dll was loaded but the
DllRegisterServer entry point was not found. This file can not be registered"
When I finished entering all the commands, I got a DOS screen that said that
automatic updates was starting. Rebooting had no effect...Updates Icon is
still sitting in my tray.
I next located Cryptographic Services...it is set to automatic
Located Remote Proceedure Call....it is started and set to automatic.
I successfully started and stopped the Cryptography Services using the
commands you relayed....still cannot view the updates page. I found an error
number on the page I am taken to that tells me there is a problem. The number
is 0x8007007F , if that is helpful.
Tried the cryptofix file....ran the script...no change.
Tried cryptsvc.....ran the script...no change.
I think thats everything. Thanks for trying to help....not sure what my next
step is.

Thank you both for your suggestions. Unfortunately, neither worked. The first
one, I got a message telling me the file was there but the entry point was
still missing. For the second one, I typed in the command and was prompted to
put in my CD, which I did. Windows went through a verification process and at
the end, I attempted to do an update. I clicked on EXPRESS, it checked for
updates, then I got a message telling me "The website has encountered a
problem and cannot display the page you are trying to view" Sounds like the
same problem as I am having with IE.
But there is a related problem I neglected to mention. My automatic update
has a problem, too. It keeps installing the same update every time I log
on...or, perhaps, tries to. Then when I reboot, there is the update icon
AGAIN, trying to download the update and prompt me to install it again. Could
this TOO be related to the Crypt32.dll problem? Should I reinstall my system
and see if that fixes everything? I just hesitate to do that, as I would have
to install a years worth of updates as well. Any other suggestions would be
greatly appreciated!

I seem to be having a problem with the Crypt32.dll file. I
get error messages that say "The proceedure entry point
CryptSignAndEncodeCe
could not be located in the dynamic library CRYPT32.dll" when I try to
open
applications like Yahoo Messinger. The problem seems to be
effecting other applications as well, most particularly Internet
Explorer. (
I
have IE 7) When I click on a link which should open a new browser
window, I
get a "Cant Locate that Page" error in the same window and no other
window
opens. In fact, I had to post this question in Firefox because IE
wouldnt
open a window for me to post in...just gave me the same " cant find
that
page" error. How can I repair the Crypt32.dll file ?
Might be time to run the system file checker (sfc). Run the following
command in a DOS shell:
sfc /scannow
You may need your Windows installation CD if sfc needs to read files
from there. Then follow with a Windows Update session.
It is always helpful if you included the exact error message or the screen
error you get for anyone to be able to help.
