Hi

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.
