Update files "no longer registered or installed"

Having used MS Update without major problems for a year, the Update website
now claims "Files required to use Microsoft Update are no longer registered
or installed on your computer". When I click on "Register or reinstall the
files for me now" it downloads the files, says it is installing them but
gives the same message. No amount of doing it again makes any difference. Any
solutions?

I found the answer to my own question in a previous post:

This worked for me, but the post goes on:

I tried the first solution, and did not work. I followed the steps for
registering all the dlls and it worked. Thank you so much.

I had to follow thrugh the entire process as listed and it work for me.

What caused the problem was the installation of a HP multifunction printer &
associated software from a HP CD. The install was successful & the printer
worked OK but after a while the PC bogged down.
At this time the MS Update service went west. It seems perhaps that HP "took
over" the update service for thire own purposes and effectively disabled the
MS updates.
On Uninstalling the printer and associated software this made things worse.
Despite following HP's way of uninstall it only partially unstalled the
software still leaving the the damaging bits installed (at large memory cost
too!!). Had to the MS unstall to get rid if the rest hopefully.
Luckily Stephen's post provided the fix.
So if you have a HP multifunction printer (printer, scanner, fax) then this
may be the root cause of any problems.
