my windows update has suddenly stopped working. When I try to run it now it
comes up with the following:

" Files required to use Microsoft Update are no longer registered or
installed on your computer. To continue:

Register or reinstall the files for me now (Recommended)
Let me read about more steps that might be required to solve the problem "

I let the program check and update itself but it comes straight back to the
error????

I have the same problem. The error messege is:
Files required to use Microsoft Update are no longer registered or installed
on your computer. To continue:

-Register or reinstall the files for me now (Recommended)
-Let me read about more steps that might be required to solve the problem


I tried your solution, but the same problem is still there.
> regsvr32 MSXML3.dll. Correct?
