Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance


===============
Windows Update cannot continue because of an unknown error.

1. Make sure your firewall is not blocking the Update site and check
any pop up stopper programs.

2. Now check in IE tools\manage add-ons (Win XP SP2 only) making sure
that
WuWebControlClass is enabled. (Select "Add-ons that have been used by
Internet Explorer" in the "Show:" drop down list)

3. You may also wish to check c:\windows\Downloaded Program Files to
see if anything is corrupted there.

4. Make sure you accepted the Microsoft Trust Certificate

5. Check security settings, make sure they are not set too high

6. Delete cookies and temp files

7. Re-register these files, by clicking Start, Run and typing:-

REGSVR32 wuapi.dll
REGSVR32 wuaueng.dll
REGSVR32 atl.dll
REGSVR32 wucltui.dll
REGSVR32 wups.dll

You should receive a successful message after each one. Try Windows
Update Again.

If that hasnâ?Tt helped you may need to re-register some more files:-

net stop cryptsvc
regsvr32 softpub.dll
regsvr32 wintrust.dll
regsvr32 initpki.dll
regsvr32 dssenh.dll
regsvr32 rsaenh.dll
regsvr32 gpkcsp.dll
regsvr32 sccbase.dll
net start cryptsvc

You should receive a successful message after each one.


Re-install Windows Update files

http://download.windowsupdate.com/v6/windowsupdate/redist/standalone/WindowsUpdateAgent20-x86.exe

===============

Please follow the above steps exactly, then give Microsoft Update
another try. NOTE: you must (!) be logged in with Administrator
privileges to get this to work.
