Microsoft Update loads fine. I click custom, it begins to scan (producing the
green progress bar). It just keeps doing this for days. No error code is
produced. This happens on my main desktop and my laptop. Everything is fine
on my other desktop. All three use a wireless internet connection through AOL.

I have deleted cookies, done maintenance. Relabelled the catroot file.
Changed MsConfig auto settings off and back on etc

HELP Please!

Suggestion 1:-
Clearing Temporary Internet files, cookies and history in Internet Explorer
Tools>Internet Options>General
You'll see Delete Cookies, Delete files, Delete History
NB: "Delete all offline content", will delete all files needed to browse the websites
offline.
Reboot and try Windows Update again.

Suggestion 2:-
1: Check that the Background Intelligent Transfer Service to is set to Automatic and
verify the Status is Started.
Click Start, Choose Run, and in the Run box, type services.msc, Click OK
Locate the Background Intelligent Transfer Service service, and right-click to select
it.
Select Properties, and in the Startup Type list, select Automatic. Verify the service
Status is Started. Click OK.

2. Check that the Set Event Log service is set to Automatic and verify that the
Status is Started
Click Start, Choose Run, and in the Run box, type services.msc, Click OK.
Locate the Event Log service, and right-click to select it.
Select Properties., and in the Startup type list, select Automatic. Verify the
Service status is Started. Click OK.

3. Register qmgr.dll and qmgrprxy.dll
Click Start, Choose Run and in the Run box, type regsvr32 qmgr.dll, Click OK.
Click Start, Choose Run and in the Run box, type regsvr32 qmgrprxy.dll, Click OK.

Suggestion 3:-
It is possible that the contents of the SoftwareDistribution folder have become
corrupted, so try Renaming the SoftwareDistribution folder
Click Start, Choose Run.
In the Run box, type services.msc.
Click OK.
Right-click the Automatic Updates service.
Click Stop.
Stopping the service will take a moment.

Rename the "SoftwareDistribution" folder:
a. Click Start, click Run, type: %systemroot%
Click OK.
b. Right-click the SoftwareDistribution folder, and then click Rename.
c. Type SoftwareDistribution.old, and then press ENTER to rename this folder.

Click Start. Choose Run.
In the Run box, type services.msc.
Click OK.
Right-click the Automatic Updates service.
Click Start.
Starting the service will take a moment.

Please note that your update history is contained in the "datastore" folder and when
you rename the Software Distribution folder, the history is lost but it's not
important. You can if need be, copy the contents back from the renamed
softwareDistribution.old folder. Losing the history of Windows Updates is not
important.

Suggestion 4:-
Certain files may have become unregistered, and you will need to register them
again:-
Click Start, Choose Run and in the Run box, type regsvr32 wuaueng1.dll, Click OK.

Do the same for the other files:-
wucltui.dll
wuaueng.dll
wuapi.dll
jscript.dll
MSXML.DLL
MSXML2.DLL
MSXML3.DLL

Suggestion 5:-

Add Windows Update to the Trusted Sites Zone:
Please note that Security settings in Internet Explorer must be set to Medium or
lower for ActiveX files to correctly pass to your computer.
Only the Web sites listed in Internet Explorer's Trusted Sites Zone will be affected
by the lowering of Security settings. Your current security settings for all other
Web sites will remain as they are currently configured.

Open Internet Explorer, click Tools, and then click Internet Options, Click Security.
Click Trusted Sites Zone. Click Sites.
Clear the Require server verification (https for all sites in this zone check box.
Use the Add button next to the Add this Web site to the zone box to add the following
sites:
http://*.windowsupdate.microsoft.com
https://*.windowsupdate.microsoft.com
http://download.windowsupdate.com

Suggestion 6:-
The below links assist you in checking your system for parasites:-
http://aumha.org/a/noads.htm
http://inetexplorer.mvps.org/tshoot.html
Please note that some malware may kill the internet connection when it is removed,
the program on the link below will enable you to regain the internet connection.
http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm

Spyware Programs links:-
http://www.microsoft.com/athome/secu...e/default.mspx (Windows
Defender)
www.lavasoftusa.com Ad-Aware
www.security.kolla.de Spybot

Suggestion 7:-
Make sure you haven't got anything blocking Windows Update like Nortons, Zonealarm
etc
Also make sure you don't have a Web Accelerator working in the background such as
NetZerio, HiSpeed, Speedband etc.

I have tried all the options.
I was unable to turn off automatic update settings it just said stopping for
two and a half hours.
I couldn,t rename the software distribution folder. Said, Can,t rename
access denied. Check disk not full or write protected file in use.
When I re registered the files, I was prompted to search the net and taken
to windows file association, but not asked to download anything.
Everything else went smoothly.
Unfortunately the problem remains unchanged.

Just a thought, I am running NOD32. Could this have anything to do with it?

I don,t get any errors, the green scroll bar just scrolls for days.

I first rang MS support September 2005 (have all the emails), 3 hr call,
couldn,t fix it. Passed on to MS 2Research engineer", one hour call no joy.
Re installed operating system, still same problem.
It,s now November 2006.

Another thought/guess:
If you use AOL. Try minimising the AOL browser (once connected) and then open
Internet Explorer and visit Windows Update! (Start/All Programs/Windows Update)
