Re: Install the ActiveX control required to view the website

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

Manolito,

Start with ensuring that the system's time is *correct*.
Then try deleting the contents of the Software Distribution folder after first stopping the Automatic Updates service.
[ The consequence of deleting the contents of that folder is that the History of updating will not appear on WU/MU ]

Go to Start > Run > type in ( or copy&paste the below into the Open: field )

net stop wuauserv

Click OK
Navigate to WINDOWS\Software Distribution
Delete the contents of that folder

Go back to Start > Run > type in

net start wuauserv

Click OK
Revisit WU/MU to see if the scan progresses now

Hello Mr. Mowgreen,

I have temporarily given up on IE7 and reverted back to IE6 SP2. I have to study this part about gettin the Active X control and the BITS.

I do not have Norton but I have McAfee AV. Please note that even with IE6 SP2, I am getting the same error of not being able to manually look for Updates. When I press the Express button, I get the green sliding bar which looks for updates but goes on and on until I get the error message number 0x8DDD0009. Can you please help in slow motion so a novice can understand. Thank you.

I have Windows XP SP2. After downloading IE7, I cannot manually look for Updates. Although I have selected Automatic updates I do not know if it is working because my updates only go as far as 13/10/2006. They seem to have stopped after I downloaded IE7.

After clicking the recommend updates button, I get the next page where the green moving bar keeps sliding across for a long time. After that I get an error number page 0x8DDD0009. I tried solving the problem with the three suggestions on the error page, but it did not work.

I also made sure that my Manage Add Ons service is 'On' because this is mentioned. I cannot or do not have or do not know how to look for the information bar to try and install Active X control. Maybe this is the problem. Can you help please. "MowGreen [MVP]" wrote:


The BIT service seems to always turns itself off.

And which version of Norton AV is installed ? To repair BITS, please read this - http://www.castlecops.com/postlite106642-bits.html

Hello,
I have windows xp sp2.
I want to do a manual windows update. It keeps giving me the following: I read many KB and proceed to close automatic update, BIT unregister weweb, iuengine and yes I can install the active x Once only. When I want to reaccess I continue to get the following:
Please note that the "take these steps to solve the problem" is leading nowhere.
Also please note that it is already installed.

The BIT service seems to always turns itself off. I have the following Description:
Transfers data between clients and servers in the background. If BITS is disabled, features such as Windows Update will not work correctly.

I start the service but it leads me nowhere.

Your help will be much appreciated!
