update not working

J

Jeff

I have one server that runs the scan within the windows
update just fine and finds updates that are needed. I
click on the install button, it opens up an install
progress window but doesn't do anything. I have left it
running for hours and it never does anything. Any ideas
or is there a fix to this?

Have you tried the suggestions on the Windows Update Troubleshooter?

Look for the Q "down load stops or freezes"

Problem

After accepting the EULA, the Windows Update - Web Page Dialog window
appears but the download never starts. Nothing "moves" on the download
progress bar, no matter how long you leave the connection open

Resolution

Please re-register the following files:
regsvr32 msscript.ocx
regsvr32 dispex.dll
regsvr32 vbscript.dll
regsvr32 scrrun.dll

1. Click "Start," and then click "Run."
2. Type regsvr32 msscript.ocx in the "Open" box and click "OK."
3. Repeat for dispex.dll,vbscript.dll, and scrrun.dll.

Next, make sure file (open) type .JS is properly associated:
1. In Control Panel, click "Folder Options," and then click "File Types."
2. Locate the .JS extension and click "Advanced."
3. Make sure the "Application to perform action" field contains:
C:\WINDOWS\System32\WScript.exe "%1" %* This is for a Windows XP computer.
For Windows 2000 substitute the C:\WINDOWS\ with C:\Winnt\. For Windows 98
and Windows Millenium Edition substitute this: C:\WINDOWS\System\ for
C:\Windows\system32.

Issue applies to
Windows 2000
Windows 98 and Windows 98 Second Edition
Windows Millennium Edition
Windows XP

Do let us know if this fixed the Problem
