New v5 Update doesnt show any updates

When I open it, it shows the "Checking for the latest...", and stays that way
(the computer doesn't get stuck).
I tried to use the Automatic Update, however, when I try to download the
SP2, it just disappears.

This may be caused by a third-party firewall product called Zone Alarm.


Try registering the following:

Click Start, select Run and type:

regsvr32 wuapi.dll
regsvr32 wuaueng.dll
regsvr32 atl.dll
regsvr32 wucltui.dll
regsvr32 wups.dll


Press enter after each one and wait for the success message
