Thanks lbus42 for the helpful advice - unfortunately after
carefully following all of it, I always got (and am still
getting) the same error.
Anyone else had experience of this?

>First add Windows Update to the list of Trusted Site
Zones.

to Medium or lower

When you lower the

in the Trusted Sites

for all other Web

Internet Options,

>Click Trusted Sites Zone, and then click Sites.
>Click to clear the Require server verification (https:)
for all sites in

>In the Add this Web site to the zone: text box, type
>https://*.microsoft.com, and then click Add.
>Click OK.
>Click Custom Level, and then select Enable for the
following items:
>Download signed ActiveX controls.
>Download unsigned ActiveX controls.
>Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe.
>Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins.
>Script ActiveX controls marked safe for scripting.
>Click OK, and then click OK again to exit Internet
Properties.

>Now check to see if the Update service is still running.
Click Start,
>Control Panel, Performance and Maintenance, System, and
then the Automatic
>Updates tab. Make sure that Automatic is checked and
then click OK.

>If you had to change anything in the preceeding steps
reboot your computer

has been OK so far,

>Now see if Automatic Updates is still running as a
service. Click Start,

type "services.msc" without the quotes

Under the name

says "Automatic" in the

Click Ok and if you had

register the dll files.
