windows update

[Rick]

Hi

I am running Windows XP SP2. The problem I have is with Windows update. It
loads and advises checking for the latest version of Windows update. Then
it just stops.

Doing a Google search I found were Microsoft advised to d/l a iuctl cabinet
file and install. I reattempted the update and it then checked for a newer
version and d/l that, but then it froze on the registration screen.

Any suggestions appreciated

Rick

Windows Update Fails:
Click on START and the RUN put in each line seen below and clicked on
OK. (do each one line at a time)
REGSVR32 C:\WINDOWS\System32\wuapi.dll
REGSVR32 C:\WINDOWS\System32\wuaueng.dll
REGSVR32 C:\WINDOWS\System32\atl.dll
REGSVR32 C:\WINDOWS\System32\wucltui.dll
REGSVR32 C:\WINDOWS\System32\wups.dll
Disable your anti-virus when obtaining the updates.
Make sure that your firewall is allowing the connection to Windows Update .
This would be on ports 80 and 443.
