it gets to the screen where i have to accept terms and conditions, i click
agree then a screen comes up saying prparing to download updates, but nothing
happens. i have left this screen up for like 3hrs and still nothing.

after clicking cancel i get this

Problem: A problem on your computer is preventing updates from being
downloaded or installed
Solution: To fix the problem, try installing the updates again. If that
doesn't work, use the Troubleshooter to try solve the problem.


i have got no solution from the troubleshooter.

No guarantees -

try: Start/Run and type in: regsvr32 wintrust.dll
okay

If no joy, then this is from some old notes -

1. Click Start, choose Run and in the Run box, type (pressing okay after each one) :-

regsvr32 msscript.ocx
regsvr32 dispex.dll
regsvr32 vbscript.dll
regsvr32 scrrun.dll

2. Ensure that the "JS" (javascript) extension is correctly associated.

Open the Control Panel > then from the menu, choose "Tools -> Folder Options"

Select the "File Types" tab

Scroll down to "JS", select it, and click the "Advanced" button

Choose "Open" from the list and select "Edit"

Now make sure the "Application used to perform action" field contains:
C:\WINDOWS\System32\WScript.exe "%1" %*

"OK" your way out and click "Close"

Close the Control Panel and reboot.
