Hi
Please try the following:
Click Start >> Run >>
Type the follow command in the Open box.
"regsvr32 wuapi.dll" (w/o quotes)
Press Ok
Type "regsvr32 wups.dll" (w/o quotes)
Press Ok
Type "regsvr32 wuaueng.dll" (w/o quotes)
Press Ok
Type "regsvr32 wucltui.dll" (w/o quotes)
Press Ok
Type "regsvr32 MSXML3.dll" (w/o quotes)
Press Ok
Type "regsvr32 atl.dll" (w/o quotes)
Press Ok
Now try the WU site again.
If the above did not fix it:
Rename (or just delete) the SoftwareDistribution folder and
see if it helps.
You can use the procedure described here:
http://v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.co...cleid=21&ln=en
Note that a side effect of renaming or deleting the SoftwareDistribution
folder is that you lose your WU v5 History listing (not critical).
(later on, you can just delete the renamed SoftwareDistribution
folder)
Instead of following the procedure above to rename the
SoftwareDistribution folder, you can delete it running the
commands below in a command prompt (Start/Run --> cmd.exe)
net.exe stop wuauserv
rd /s /q %windir%\softwaredistribution
net.exe start wuauserv
