Error message for Updates

I am trying to check for updates via the Microsoft website and am getting the
error message: " Files required to use Microsoft Updates are no longer
registered or installed on your computer" If I choose to register or
reinstall the files, Internet Explorer quits unexpectedly. If anyone knows a
different way to install/register the information that need be in order to
check for updates that would be very helpful!

I actually found the same information on a previous post...and the good news
is- it worked!! Thanks for your help!
