Hi,

Where are you seeing this error? The reason I ask is that this error
means that WU is trying to install an update that requires user input,
but there is no interactive user logged on to request input from.

Hope this helps,

Cheers. This must be the strange error because what you described should not
be happening. That is the error I get in my WindowsUpdate.log.

I am going to see if I can try anything else to fix the problem. If what you
described is right. It seem, that something installed must be tricking Update
V5 into thinking no interactive user is able to input. Disabling my BHO's and
ActiveX might work.
