Windows Update doesn't work

[Dan]

For some reason when I go to windows update on my computer the screen comes
up and says "Checking for the latest version....." Usually a security
warning comes up and asks if I want to install it etc. That is not
happening now. I hear a couple clicks like it is being blocked. Anyway the
update never happens.

I have SP1 and remove all popup blockers and toolbars for IE and install
PC-CILLIN personal virus protection w/ firewall and spyware checker. My
system appears clean.

Any ideas?

Right now when I go into update ie freezes and I have to ct alt del to
squash ie. Must be something wrong in update.

Hi

Please try this:

Click Start >> Run >>

Type the follow command in the Open box.
"net.exe stop wuauserv" (w/o quotes)
Press Ok

Repeat the same for the following commands:

regsvr32.exe wuapi.dll
regsvr32.exe wups.dll
regsvr32.exe wuaueng.dll
regsvr32.exe wucltui.dll
regsvr32.exe MSXML3.dll
net.exe start wuauserv

Now try the WU site again.
