Thanks Robin, that fixed the problem, but now when I perform 'search
for updates for my computer' I get a SVCHOST continually running,
and get no results.
Before doing the items below, ensure that you have disabled all 3rd-party
anti-virus, anti-spyware, popup-blocker, download accelerator, or firewall.
If you disabled a 3rd-party firewall, then re-enable Windows Firewall for
the duration.
For a fix to the above problem, please do BOTH of the following:
1. (not for Vista) If your update history shows that you do not yet have
update KB927891 installed, then download and install update KB927891 version
3:
<http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927891>
and then restart Windows.
2. For 32-bit systems, download and save to hard disk, and then install:
<http://download.windowsupdate.com/v7/windowsupdate/redist/standalone/WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe>
If this produces an error message about "Update agent already
installed", then execute the installer again manually, with parameter
/wuforce as in (at a comand prompt window):
WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe /wuforce
Then visit Microsoft Update again, and report back whether your problem is
fixed.
