Error Messages

I have started to get the message "Wuauclt has caused an error in Wuv31s.dll. This has something to do with the Windows update. When I go to the update page the above message pops up about every minute or so. The update does not want to load and I get the additional message "Iexplore has caused an error in vbscript.dll". Every thing seems to work fine, but these annoying message keep popping up. I did tighten my security settings to disable activeX in the restricted zone. And made Outlook Express more restricted. Would this have anything to do with causing the problem. Now I just got a page fault screen with the first message above, but it didn't progress to the blue screen....very annoying. ME seems to much more unstable than W95. I have only had this computer for about 4 months and it has enough memory and strength to upgrade to XP. Should I. Any suggestions welcome. Virus scan came up clean

    This is probably caused by the Automatic Update feature (and I use the term loosely) in Windows ME. Your best bet would be to disable it, which will not only end the error messages, but free up some resources. You can then do periodic manual checks at Windows Update for anything critical, and save yourself some grief.

    To disable Auto Update, go to Start - Settings - Control Panel. Click on View All Control Panel Options on the lft, if they're not already visible, then on Automatic Updates. Put a check in Turn Off Automatic Update, and click OK at the bottom. No more auto-update. Just remember to check in at Windows Update periodically and look for the Critical stuff. Everything else is optional.

    To get rid of a lot of other unnecessary stuff that runs automatically, go here.
