Unable to download non-critical & driver updates from MS

[Charles H Moore]

Hello, I am unable to download updates from the MS update site. I get as far
as the Licence screen, which I agree to, then the download box appears, but
nothing
happens. I have tried the information listed in the MKB Articles- 826716,
193385 & 194174 & none of this information has helped.

I was hoping not to have to resort to running a repair with the xp disc

I have also tried;
regsvr32 msscript.dll, dispex.dll, vbscript.dll, scrrun.dll
the .JS extension is also properly set up
Go to Start/Run/CMD and type in:
del /q "%SystemRoot%\System32\Catroot2\Edb.log. Then try again

Go to Start/Run and type in: regsvr32 wintrust.dll. If that doesn't help: Go
to Start/Run and type in CMD. At the command prompt, type the following
commands, pressing ENTER after each line:

net stop cryptsvc
ren %systemroot%\system32\catroot2 oldcatroot2
net start cryptsvc

Do a search for "oem*.inf" sort the found files in order of size and delete
all the 0kb files just keep the files that are above 1 kb in size.

The automatic updates d/l & install just fine

Any and all suggestions will be greatly Appreciated

Hi Charles,

Other than what is listed under why can't I download updates:

I can only suggest trying the public.windowsupdate group. Good luck!

Wanted to thank everyone for there suggestions, if nothing else, at least I
learned a few things.
As for the update problem, nothing seemed to work, so I went ahead and did
a repair on XP Pro. Updates are working again.

Thanks Again
