the instructions but when i click on start service, it automaticaly switches
back from automatic to disabled. after a couple of tries i get the same
error message as in that previous post "error 1058 saying Could Not start
the Automatic Updates service on Local Computer. The service cannot be
started, either because its disabled or because it has no enabled devices
associated with it." where do i go from here?
