Here are some options that microsoft emailed me, it still didnt work for me
but hope works for ya'll

you encountered certain difficulies updating Windows.

If I have misunderstood, please feel free to let me know.

I have listed some resolution in the form of suggestions so that it will be
easier for you to try them.

If you are running Ad-aware, ZoneAlarm, PC-Cillin, Norton Antivirus, Norton
Internet Security, Norton Personal Firewall, McAfee, Proxomitron pop-up
blocker, Ad Muncher, web accelerator e.g. "Slipstream", I would
recommend you to temporarily disable or shut down any of these installed on
your syst
em and try accessing Windows Update site. Be sure to enable them again when
you
complete the update process.

Suggestion 1:
=========
In order to resolve this issue, we need to register the ActiveX control files
needed to access the Windows Update Site. We need to do this since the error
can occur if these files are unregistered on your system. To do this you can
try
the instructions provided below:

Note: There is a Single Space between the regsvr32 command and the file name
JSCRIPT.DLL . The same goes with all the commands provided below.

1. Click on Start, point to "Run"
2. Type in "regsvr32 JSCRIPT.DLL" (without double quotes) and
click Ok.
3. Type in "regsvr32 MSXML3.DLL" (without double quotes) and
click Ok.
4. Type in "regsvr32 ATL.DLL" (without double quotes) and
click Ok.
5. Type in "regsvr32 WUAPI.DLL" (without double quotes) and
click Ok.
6. Type in "regsvr32 WUAUENG.DLL" (without double quotes) and
click Ok.
7. Type in "regsvr32 WUAUENG1.DLL" (without double quotes) and
click Ok.
8. Type in "regsvr32 WUCLTUI.DLL" (without double
quotes) and click Ok.
9. Type in "regsvr32 WUPS.DLL" (without double quotes) and
click Ok.
10. Type in "regsvr32 WUWEB.DLL" (without double quotes) and
click Ok.

Now please try accessing the Windows Update Site again.

Suggestion 2:
=========
If you are still encountering the above error on Windows Update Site then, we
need to rename the Softwaredistribution folder from your system. By renaming
the folder we will be able to get the fresh copy of ActiveX controls needed
to
access the Windows Update Site. To do this, please try the step
s provided below:

We first need to close all the Open instances of Internet Explorer Window.

Step 1: We need to Stop the Automatic Update and Background Intelligent
Transfer
Services on your system:

1. Click Start > Run
2. Type "Services.msc" (w/o quotes)
3. Press OK
4. Find "Automatic Updates"
5. Right Click on the Automatic Updates Service and select Stop to stop the
service.
6. Now Find "Background Intelligent Transfer service"
7. Right Click on the Background Intelligent Transfer service and select
Stop to
stop the service.

Step 2: Now try the instructions provided below to rename the
SoftwareDistribution from your system:

1. Click on Start, Run and in the Open box write "%systemroot%"
(Without Double Quotes) and press Enter.
2. It will open the root folder ( i.e. C:\Windows if you have installed fresh
copy of the Windows XP OR if you have upgraded over Windows NT then it will
open C:\WINNT) from your system.
3. Locate the SoftwareDistribution folder from the opened window Right Click
on
the on the SoftwareDistribution folder and select Rename. Type
"OldSD", and press Enter.
4. Once we have renamed the folder try the Step 3.

Step 3: We need to Start the Automatic Update and Background Intelligent
Transfer Services on your system:

1. Click Start > Run
2. Type "Services.msc" (w/o quotes)
3. Press OK
4. Find "Automatic Updates"
5. Right Click on the Automatic Updates Service and select Start to start the
service.
6. Now Find "Background Intelligent Transfer service"
7. Right Click on the Background Intelligent Transfer service and select
Start
to start the service.

Now try accessing the Windows Update Site and check if our issue is resolved.

Hey, thanks. After turning EVERYTHING off (Ad-aware, Norton, High-speed,
etc.) I was finally able to check for any updates. I guess with all the stuff
happening on the internet these days you can't be too careful, right?!?!?

Thanks Bub,
Wolverine

I have had the same problem with windows update.
Go to this URL http://support.microsoft.com/kb/836941
I used method one and it worked.

The main problem appears to be with original update url.
If you compare the original with the new it has microsoftupdate/v5 and the
new one has microsoftupdate/v6

http://update.microsoft.com/microsof....aspx?ln=en-us

When I click on updates now the url is
http://update.microsoft.com/microsof....aspx?ln=en-us

I hope this will correct the above problem for most.

Thanks Seaburn!

Such a simple solution! Turning Hi-Speed off worked! Haven't been able to
access win update since June 19 when Win Update changed from v5 to v6. (Never
had to turn off Hi-Speed before.) Had turned off and even uninstalled
ZoneAlarm and Norton, and followed several instructions from tech to try to
resolve issue. Finally a solution...and so simple! Hope this helps MS fix the
bug in update v6, if v6 is the cause of the problem.
Thanks for the info and fix. It was "music to my ears!"
