Ignore the title and follow the sub-section under "Advanced Troubleshooting" titled, "Method 1: Reset the registry and the file permissions" http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949377 *will take time ** Ignore the last step (6) - you already have SP3... You will likely see errors pass by if you watching, even count up. No worries *at this time*. *After* that is done, continue on to the next part where you clean off some excess (unnecessary) files. It only removes those you definitely do not need, if you follow the directions *as given* and do not deviate. So reboot (for each of these steps, it is just best to reboot right before - but I will continue to point that out) and logon as an user with administrative priviledges. Download/install the "Windows Installer CleanUp Utility": http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301 After installing, do the following: Start button --> RUN (no "RUN"? Press the "Windows Key" + R on your keyboard) --> type in: "%ProgramFiles%\Windows Installer Clean Up\msizap.exe" g! --> Click OK. (The quotation marks and percentage signs and spacing should be exact.) It will flash by *quick*, don't expect much out of this step to get excited about. But the cleaner your machine is to start with, the better your luck will be later (not really luck - more like preparedness, but that's not as fun to think about, eh?) Reboot again and logon as an user with administrative priviledges. This time (and this is one of the more time-consuming steps) you will be running (one at a time with reboots in-between each) three different anti-spyware/anti-malware applications to ensure you come up clean. Download, install, run, update and perform a full scan with the following (freeware version): SuperAntiSpyware http://www.superantispyware.com/ Reboot and logon as administrative user. Download, install, run, update and perform a full scan with the following (freeware version): MalwareBytes http://www.malwarebytes.com/ Reboot and logon as administrative user. Download and run the MSRT manually: http://www.microsoft.com/security/malwareremove/default.mspx You may find nothing, you may find only cookies, you may think it is a waste of time - but if you do all this and report back here with what you do/don't find as you are doing all of it - you are adding more pieces to the puzzle and the entire picture just may become clearer and your problem resolved. Reboot and logon as administrative user. Download/Install the latest Windows Installer (for your OS): ( Windows XP 32-bit : WindowsXP-KB942288-v3-x86.exe ) http://www.microsoft.com/downloadS/details.aspx?familyid=5A58B56F-60B6-4412-95B9-54D056D6F9F4&displaylang=en Reboot and logon as administrative user. Download the latest version of the Windows Update agent from here (x86): http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=91237 .... and save it to the root of your C:\ drive. After saving it to the root of the C:\ drive, do the following: Close all Internet Explorer windows and other applications. Start button --> RUN and type in: %SystemDrive%\windowsupdateagent30-x86.exe /WUFORCE --> Click OK. (If asked, select "Run.) --> Click on NEXT --> Select "I agree" and click on NEXT --> When it finishes installing, click on "Finish"... Reboot and logon as administrative user. Repeat this step again, Visit this web page (in Internet Explorer): How do I reset Windows Update components? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 .... and click on the "Microsoft Fix it" icon. When asked, select "RUN", both times. Check the "I agree" box and click on "Next". Check the box for "Run aggressive options (not recommended)" and click "Next". Let it finish up and follow the prompts until it is done. Close/exit and reboot when it is. You should now perform a full CHKDSK on your system drive (C:)... How to scan your disks for errors http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265 * will take time and a reboot You should now perform a full Defragment on your system drive (C:)... How to Defragment your hard drives http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314848 * will take time Uninstall any and all third-party firewall applications (ZoneAlarm, etc) and utilize the built-in Windows Firewall only. Reboot. Log on as an user with administrative rights and open Internet Explorer and visit http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ and select to do a CUSTOM scan... Every time you are about to click on something while at these web pages - first press and hold down the CTRL key while you click on it. You can release the CTRL key after clicking each time. Once the scan is done, select just _ONE_ of the high priority updates (deselect any others) and install it. Reboot again. If it did work - try the web page again - selecting no more than 3-5 at a time. Rebooting as needed. The Optional Software updates are generally safe - although I recommend against the "Windows Search" one and any of the "Office Live" ones or "Windows Live" ones for now. I would completely avoid the Optional Hardware updates. Also - I do not see any urgent need to install Internet Explorer 8 at this time. Seriously - do all that. This is like antibiotics - don't skip a single step, don't quit because you think things will be okay now - go through until the end, until you have done everything given in the order given. If you have a problem with a step come ask and let someone here get you through that step. If you don't understand how to do a step, come back and ask here about that step and let someone walk you through it. Then - when done - let everyone here know if it worked for you - or if you have more issues. -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

From: Gleam on 10 Feb 2010 14:56 Shut PC down, went to work, came back tried updates web site again and it worked first time! No downloads needed. I think "Mr Fix-it" must have fixed even though he gave an error message. Many thanks for your help.
