HI everyone!

after encountering some problems with windows updates, i tried following
some of the instructions on this board.
unfortunately i seem to get stuck fairly early since when i try to stop the
automatic updates service it does not respond.

has anyone encountered anything similar or can help out?
could running the update restore from kelly site help?

thanks in advance
ron

The automatic update service could not be stopped

1. Reboot the computer.
2. Open regedit and delete the following key which contains the WU service
configuration):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\wuauserv
3. Reboot the computer
4. Install the AutoUpdate service - run this command.

%SystemRoot%\System32\rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection AutoUpdate
132 %SystemRoot%\inf\au.inf

Note that the line wraps in Newsreaders therefore I have made it two lines.
When you run the command, it's important that it's only one line.
Please note there is a space between AutoUpdate and 132
Also if asked for the CD, direct to the folder %windir%\servicepackfiles\i386

5. Reboot the computer.
6. Check to see if you can start and stop the Automatic Update service.
