Hi Please try this: 1. Click Start. 2. Choose Run. 3. In the Run box, type (or copy/paste from this post) regsvr32.exe wuaueng.dll (note the space there in the middle) 4. Click OK. Do the same for this two DLLs as well: qmgr.dll qmgrprxy.dll After the regsvr32 command, start regedit.exe (from Start/Run) and locate the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\wuauserv If you find a DeleteFlag value there, delete the DeleteFlag value. -- torgeir, Microsoft MVP Scripting and WMI, Porsgrunn Norway Administration scripting examples and an ONLINE version of the 1328 page Scripting Guide: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/default.mspx
From: Fred on 13 Feb 2005 22:31 Thank you. The suggestion worked. I have not tried what Torgeir Bakken (MVP) has suggested yet. I don't know if it is appropriate, but why has the update suddenly stopped working? I'm not aware of any changes on my end. Oh, well... Thank you.

From: Fred on 13 Feb 2005 22:41 Thank you. Auto update is off and with your changed, it seems to be working. I got interesting results with the 2nd and 3rd dll, but everything is working. Again, thank you.
