Is this Windows XP or Vista ?

Please, do *not* rename the folder that Engel suggested be renamed.
Besides, I doubt the command he posted will work.

Instead, open the WindowsUpdate.log by going to Start> Run > type in

%windir%\windowsupdate.log

Click OK or press Enter
Please copy and paste the last 50 or so lines of the WU.log into your
reply, Dan.

I did contact an IE7 helpdesk. They sent me some files. I installed the
files and now everything appears to be working!

Thanks for your feedback.

Dan, can you tell us your Windows version, the file names you were given and
what you were to do with them, please? Thanks! Your answers might help
others here.

I have Windows XP and use Exploror 7.0. The files that I was sent looked
like they had something to do with the Registry. After I installed the
files, my windows update worked fine, but my download history is gone! I
will find the files and send them to you if you wish.
