Windows update doesn't show me updates

When I invoke windows update via the Start menu, it launches IE and brings up
the Windows Update web page. This is the page which checks to see if there
are any updates to the Windows Update software. I never leave this page.

Please help,
Greg Mirek

Hi Greg,

Give this a try and see if it resolves the problem.........

Go to Start>Run and key in:
net.exe stop wuauserv
Click on OK or hit ENTER

Go to Start>Run and key in:
regsvr32 wuapi.dll
Click on OK or hit ENTER
Click on OK in the Regsvr32 dialogue box

Start>Run and key in:
regsvr32 wups.dll
Click on OK or hit ENTER
Click on OK in the Regsvr32 dialogue box

Start>Run and key in:
regsvr32 wuaueng.dll
Click on OK or hit ENTER
Click on OK in the Regsvr32 dialogue box

Start>Run and key in:
regsvr32 wucltui.dll
Click on OK or hit ENTER
Click on OK in the Regsvr32 dialogue box

Start>Run and key in:
regsvr32 msxml3.dll
Click on OK or hit ENTER
Click on OK in the Regsvr32 dialogue box

Start>Run and key in:
net.exe start wuauserv

Now try the Windows Update site.

Patti your a genius! Whoever reads this, take note, her advice works like a
charm.
Microsoft should have some type of link that does all that typing for you
though.
