windows update site just sits on checking for latest version
I just did a system restore ,and at first windows update seemed to update
itself ok.But then the page closed,and now it just says checking for latest
version and never does anything.Its not a popup blocker or antivirus
program.there are no error messages.ie settings are medium.No mention of this
in the win Update troubelshooter or knowledge base.Can someone help? Thanks

Hi Deb,
Give this a try..........
Go to Start>Run and key in:
net.exe stop wuauserv
Click on OK or hit ENTER
Go to Start>Run and key in:
regsvr32 wuapi.dll
Click on OK or hit ENTER
Click on OK in the RegSvr32 dialogue box
Start>Run and key in:
regsvr32 wups.dll
Click on OK or hit ENTER
Click on OK in the RegSvr32 dialogue box
Start>Run and key in:
regsvr32 wuaueng.dll
Click on OK or hit ENTER
Click on OK in the RegSvr32 dialogue box
Start>Run and key in:
regsvr32 wuaueng1.dll
Click on OK or hit ENTER
Click on OK in the RegSvr32 dialogue box
Start>Run and key in:
regsvr32 wucltui.dll
Click on OK or hit ENTER
Click on OK in the RegSvr32 dialogue box
Start>Run and key in:
regsvr32 wuweb.dll
Click on OK or hit ENTER
Click on OK in the RegSvr32 dialogue box
Start>Run and key in:
regsvr32 jscript.dll
Click on OK or hit ENTER
Click on OK in the RegSvr32 dialogue box
Start>Run and key in:
regsvr32 atl.dll
Click on OK or hit ENTER
Click on OK in the RegSvr32 dialogue box
Start>Run and key in:
regsvr32 softpub.dll
Click on OK or hit ENTER
Click on OK in the RegSvr32 dialogue box
Start>Run and key in:
regsvr32 msxml3.dll
Click on OK or hit ENTER
Click on OK in the RegSvr32 dialogue box
Start>Run and key in:
net.exe start wuauserv
Now try the Windows Update site.
Alternatively, you could create a command script file to run the above
commands in a Command Prompt window......
Go to Start>Run
Key in:
cmd
Click on OK or hit ENTER
In the Command Prompt window, key in:
notepad registerit.cmd
Hit ENTER
A Notepad window will open with a dialogue box asking if you want to create
a new file. Click on Yes in the dialogue box.
Copy/paste the following, between but not including the asterisks, into the
Notepad window:
*********************
net stop wuauserv
regsvr32 /s wuapi.dll
regsvr32 /s wups.dll
regsvr32 /s wuaueng.dll
regsvr32 /s wuaueng1.dll
regsvr32 /s wucltui.dll
regsvr32 /s wuweb.dll
regsvr32 /s jscript.dll
regsvr32 /s atl.dll
regsvr32 /s softpub.dll
regsvr32 /s msxml3.dll
net start wuauserv
**********************
When finished pasting the above commands into the Notepad window, go to
File>Save then File>Exit.
Back in the Command Prompt window, key in:
registerit.cmd
Then hit ENTER
When the file is done running, and you're back at the C: prompt, key in:
exit
Then hit ENTER
Now try the Windows Update site.
