I have a windows security alerts shield popped up and says that my automatic updater has been turned off an needs to start again. It won't turn on automatically nor can I turn it on either. I tried the Services.msc in the run command, and found out that I cannot chave the auto update to apply to automatic. It just continues to stay diabled, this here is the (path to executable: C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs) I tried to manually update via the update site but all I get is this error: The site cannot continue because one or more of these Windows services is not running: [Error number: 0x8DDD0018]
So no idea what to do here, ay sugestion?
thanks for help

Try looking in your control panel

Xp or vista

Start, run and type
Regsvr32.exe wuaueng.dll

After this, go back to services and look for
Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS)

This should be set to Manual, if not, change and then click the Start button and Apply

Now go back to automatic updates and change to Automatic and Start button and apply

My OS is XP and I did try what you suggested seahwk83. It seems to work even though I got a script error

An error has occurred in the script on this page
Line: 1
Char: 1
Error: Unspecified error
Code: 0
URL: res://C:\WINDOWS\system32\mmcndmgr.dll/views.htm

Do you want to continue running scripts on this page?
[YES] [NO]

What happens if you select yes, it still should go through

Try this

Login as Administrator or equivalent. Click Start, Run and type these commands one by one:

Regsvr32 jscript.dll
Regsvr32 vbscript.dll

Works but still have to do this every time I reboot the PC

Found this

Resolution

This occurs due to missing OLE32 registration. You may use the following VBScript to correct the above problems. Download olereg.vbs and run the file.
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/reg/olereg.vbs

Download and run, then say OK to any message that comes up

Hope this helps
