Help Microsoft updates not working!!!!!!

I get this error code : 0x80070424

Hi Weary,

Give this a try and see if it solves the problem..............


Go to Start>Run and key in:
regsvr32 wuaueng.dll
Click on OK or hit ENTER, wait a few seconds, then click on OK in the
RegSvr32 dialogue box.
Now, open the registry editor (Start>Run key in regedit then click on OK or
hit ENTER)
Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\wuauserv
Look for a DeleteFlag value and, if it exists, right-click on it and select
Delete.


Now see if if you can successfully update. If not, then:


Go to Start>Run and key in:
net stop wuauserv
Then click on OK or hit ENTER
When the Automatic Updates service has stopped, use My Computer or Windows
Explorer to navigate to the C:\Windows or C:\WINNT (if C:\Windows does not
exist) folder. Rename the SoftwareDistribution folder to SDOLD
Go to Start>Run and key in:
net start wuauserv
Then click on OK or hit ENTER


Now try the Windows Update site and see if the error has been resolved.

0x80070424 - ERROR_SERVICE_DOES_NOT_EXIST

There are two things you can try:-

Courtesy of: Torgeir Bakken (MVP) (seems to work for most)

See if this helps::
1. Click Start.
2. Choose Run.
3. In the Run box, type (or copy/paste from this post)
regsvr32.exe wuaueng.dll (note the space there in the middle)
4. Click OK.

After the regsvr32 command, start regedit.exe
and locate the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\wuauserv

If you find a DeleteFlag value there, delete the DeleteFlag value.
