Re: Unable to start Automatic Update

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Thank you for your reply, however, I had already looked at all three
articles. Remote Procedure Call (RPC) is running and set to automatic.

| Hello.
|
| System: Win XP Media Centre Edition - Service Pack 3
|
| Somehow, I picked up a variant of VirtuMonde; Symantec Anti-virus, Spybot
| Search & Destroy etc did not locate it; I discovered it by chance using
| Windows Sysinternals Process Explorer.
|
| I ran Vundo Fix 7.0.0.6 and it removed three traces of VirtuMonde, I then
| rebooted and ran Vundo Fix 7.0.0.6 again, this time it found nothing.
| However, I noticed that Automatic Update was disabled.
|
| Irrespective of how many so-called "fixes" I try, I cannot enable it via
| Services. When I set it to automatic and click start, I receive the following
| message: Could not start the Automatic Updates service on Local Computer.
| Error 1058: The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or
| because it has no enabled devices associated with it.
|
| How do I associate a device with it? If I do the former, is it likely to
| help? Has anybody found a solution to this problem< I am open to all
| suggestions.
|
| I shall thank everybody in advance for any help with this matter.
|
| Regards,
|
| Pseu.
