No, the error message doesn't read like that; there are at least four
syntactical errors. Please state the actual error message. Meanwhile,
try this:

256. Restore the Control Panel

Joe Thanks for your replying, but my problem seems to with the Automatic
Updates. In the Control Panel I clicked on Security Center and the RUNDLL
error popped up again as shown below.

I went to the Administrative Tools area and clicked on services. Under the
'Automatic Update' heading, every time I try to set the startup type to
'automatic' and I click 'apply' it works, showing the service status as
'stopped'. When I cick 'start' another error message pops up saying;

"Error 1058: The service cannot be started, either becauseit is disabled or
because it has no enabled devices associated with it."

So I don't really know what to do. The red windows security alerts icon is
still in my tray and doesn't seem to be leavng. Please advise.

Thanks,

Jack
