Windows Update XP does not work since v.5 came out

Windows Update v.4 was working on my system. However, as soon as v.5 came
out I have the same problem as everyone else--it just sits there. I get the
initial message about scanning and it might take a while, then the browser
emits a soft "click" as the blue bar in the bottom of the frame jumps to
"full" (all the way to the right). Then it just sits there. The initial
message just sits there, nothing happens, and it does not scan.

I don't know, but I suspect there may be some sort of systemic problem with
v.5 Windows Update.

Thanks!

When searching for available updates on the Windows Update site, you see the
0x8007043B error
This error may occur if the WUAUSERV and BITS services are not configured properly in
the registry.
http://v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.co...cleid=19&ln=en

or

Try registering the following:

Click Start, select Run and type (pressing enter after each one and wait for the
success message):

regsvr32 wuapi.dll
regsvr32 wuaueng.dll
regsvr32 atl.dll
regsvr32 wucltui.dll
regsvr32 wups.dll


or

Click Start, select Run and type (pressing enter after each one and wait for the
success message):

net.exe stop wuauserv
Press Ok

Repeat for the following:
regsvr32 wuapi.dll
regsvr32 wups.dll
regsvr32 wuaueng.dll
regsvr32 wucltui.dll
regsvr32 msxml3.dll
net.exe start wuauserv

Press enter after each one and wait for the success message

Second solution (wuapi, wuaueng, atl, wucltui, wups) worked like a charm!

Thank you very much!

Incidently, if it is not too much trouble, in a general sense what did those
dlls do?

For more information on dlls, perhaps you may find this site of interest.
What exactly the dlls do, I'm not really sure, but they all have their
purpose.

http://support.microsoft.com/dllhelp/
DLL Help Database
This database contains information about DLL files that are included with
selected Microsoft products.

for example:
wuapi.dll – Windows Update Client
wuaueng.dll – Windows Update Autoupdate Engine
