Hi Torgeir

First of all, many thanks. It does be found

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
> \Group Policy Objects\LocalUser\Software\Microsoft\Windows\
> CurrentVersion\Policies\Windows Update

and I have deleted the value "DisableWindowsUpdateAccess" if it exist. then
the error code is gone. So great! The feeling is so nice and appreciated!

However, I have found that I can not turn on the windows update from the
system icon in control panel, since I can not tick the auto update, the tick
symble in that panel is grey which is not accessable.

More information is provided in the association, that;

I can not go through the last 3rd step in the "Protect your PC"; Use
up-to-date the antivirus software. Actually, e-Trust anitvirus version 7.0
has been well loaded in that system. I have no clue it does not work.

I will be to appreciate to have your guideline.

Best Regards

Benny
