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



Awesome! it worked, I have tried alot of fixes from Microsoft and this forum,
this was my 7th email fix from Mike a
Microsoft Windows Update Support Professional, and let me tell you he has
stuck right there with me, trying different things, even replied that he
would stick with me until issue is resolved, so I hope this will help someone
else as I have been trying to fix this issue for 17 days now, I hope it helps
some else.
1. Rename the Update temporary folders.
===================================
1. Click Start, Run, type: cmd and press Enter. Please run the following
command in the opened window.

Net stop WuAuServ

2. Click Start, Run, type: %windir% and press Enter.
3. In the opened folder, rename the folder SoftwareDistribution to Sdold.
4. Click Start, Run, type: cmd and press Enter. Please run the following
command in the opened window.

Net start WuAuServ

2. Remove the corrupted Active X control
=====================================
1. Open Interent Options
2. On the General Tab choose Settings under Temporary Internet Files
3. Then click on View Objects.
4. Right Click WuWebControl Class and choose remove
5. Right Click MuWebControl Class and choose remove
6. Delete the file c:\windows\system32\wuweb.dll

The above steps will help us remove the ActiveX controls for Windows Update
and Microsoft Update. Then will download a new one to instead of the
corrupted one.

software distribution and delete all the files inside the folders, I can get
windows update to work, but if I try the microsoft update at the top of the
windows update webpage, I get the error again, and windows will not work
either until I do the cleaning of the files, all is fine unless I try the
microsoft update,
you can also try

The only thing I did was install office 2007 beta. Since then it stopped
working. Not sure if that has anything to with it.
