"Checking for updates" does not stop searching

I just installed Microsoft Update and when it went to see which updates I
needed it just kept going on and on and on with the search. Its message was
"Checking for the latest updates for your computer."

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Much appreciated.

2) Was the system restarted after opting into MU ?

1) Which edition of Windows; what Service Pack level is it on; which
Version of Internet Explorer ?


Open a Command Prompt (Elevated Command Prompt in Win7 or Vista by right
clicking cmd and choosing 'Run as admin'; follow the UAC prompts)

At the prompt type in following commands pressing Enter after *each* one

regsvr32 msxml3.dll
regsvr32 jscript.dll
regsvr32 muweb.dll
exit

Try MU again.

I'm having the same issue.

I just reformatted using the windows vista home premium 32-bit with sp1 dvd, I started doing updates and I'm getting that same response. I tried MowGreen's command suggestion and I get the error message:

the module "msxm13.dll" was loaded but the call to DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x80070005. For more information about this problem, search using the error code as a serch term.

I did that, downloaded some genuine program but that still didn't help. where do I go next?
