Problems with Windows Update after SP3 Install? Try This...
Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
Type the following commands. Press ENTER after each command. regsvr32 wuapi.dll regsvr32 wuaueng.dll regsvr32 wuaueng1.dll regsvr32 wucltui.dll regsvr32 wups.dll regsvr32 wups2.dll regsvr32 wuweb.dll After installing SP3, Windows Update was not completing the high priority updates I required. These steps registered the .dll files necessary and allowed the Update program to work correctly again.

Should the commands only be entered if there are known updates that are not installing? I mean, might SP3 prevent some missing updates from being detected in Windows Update and give the (incorrect) message that Windows XP is up to date?

No, you only need to do that if Windows Update refuses to install updates which it shows you that you need and actually downloads them.

Nice spinning tape drives. In the Navy when we had a tour come through our hot shot CDC system we would enter instructions by hand to get all the tapes spinning. It was impressive in the day.

If you've kept your system up to date since SP2, you will already have about 90% of SP3 installed. Additional security features were added with SP3 and subsequent updates. I would recommend installing SP3 and all updates since. |

I used to have Media Center Edition with my OS. After installing the SP3 update when I try to go back to Media Center I get an error code telling me I must install a version of .NET framework v1.1.4322. When I try to install this it won't load. I was told in a chat room by Microsoft groupies not to install any updates coming from Microsoft. They said since my machine was built by DELL just to instll only updates sent by DELL. That is very hard because I get the Autoupdates almost constantly when I shut my computer down. I would just like to have Media Center back,but I lost a hard disk drive last month and installed a new one. The Symantic program that would reboot my machine was on that drive...nowI don't have that feature. The bootup disk(OEM pack) that came with my computer will boot up Windows XP Professional but won't let me reboot Media Center. It has a little question block that asks if I want to install Windows XP Professional or Media Center Edition on the disk. When I pick Media Center Edition just before the program starts up to reboot it switches back to XP Professional and loads it. I wrote and called DELL about it. They sent me another disk that does the same thing . I also got a driver reboot disk I think is for a Vista machine. None of the stuff on it applies to my computer. I was still getting to go to Media Center on the new install,but it would not recognise my TV tuner card and load TV. After I loaded the SP3 update it no longer alows me to go to Media Center. The machine is 2 years old. DELL was good enough to send me the disks because it was the first time I ever used them.My machine is out of warranty now so I no longer get help from DELL. I was thinking about just using the WINTV software that came with my TV card and just later on upgradeing to Vista. My internal GEEKYNESS just kicks in though and I get a little guy on my shoulder whispering in my ear that it is just a small software issue and eventually I will find a fix.

This is precisely what happened to my new XP install: once the install was complete, the system went directly to the Miicrosoft web site for a group of updates, some 65 of them, and on #57, the system completely shut down.
Can I run these programs from the DOS prompt, and expect them to have the same effect? I cannot get to Safe Mode, and the system allows me to get to DOS from the set up screen. Everyone keeps trying to tell me the problem is hardware, but I know it is not.... |
