    This is assuming you managed to download the Updates but they will not install
     
    Start/Run and type in the box
    regsvr32 /s wuapi.dll
    OK
     
    Repeat the above for all of the following dlls
    regsvr32 /s wuaueng1.dll
    regsvr32 /s wuaueng.dll
    regsvr32 /s wucltui.dll
    regsvr32 /s wups2.dll
    regsvr32 /s wups.dll
    regsvr32 /s wuweb.dll
     
    The Updates should install now

    I did what byou said and on the top one i clicked start/run and put in regsvr32/s wuapi.dll and hit ok and a message came up: can not find regsrv32/   So I retyped it without the space between the /s the w and the same thing. The message came up. Then I tried all the others and always the message can not find regsrv32/ came up and I still can not download the updates. I tried clicking the update deal in the bottom toolbar and going to microsoft to download them and i always seem to get the message some of your downloads can not be installed and there is like 83 at the begging and 83 at the end that were never installed.
    So do you have any ideas as to the problem or what would I do next?

    This is the way to fix your problem.  I don`t think you are typing the commands properly
     
    Try it this way

    Step 1. Open Notepad (or any text editor).
    Step 2. Copy and paste the following command lines into the Notepad window (the /s switch runs the commands silently, freeing you from having to press Enter after each line):
     
    regsvr32 /s wuapi.dll
    regsvr32 /s wuaueng1.dll
    regsvr32 /s wuaueng.dll
    regsvr32 /s wucltui.dll
    regsvr32 /s wups2.dll
    regsvr32 /s wups.dll
    regsvr32 /s wuweb.dll
     
    Step 3. Save the file to your desktop, using a .bat or .cmd extension.
     
    Step 4. Double-click the icon of the .bat or .cmd file.
     
    Step 5. A command window will open, run the commands, and then close.
    The next time you visit the Windows Update site, you should not have any problem installing the latest patches.
     
    Note
    Whe you were typing the commands such as
    regsvr32 /s wuapi.dll
     
    There is a space before /  and another one before wuapi

    Thanks the way this one was typed up was a lot clearer and easyer to see where the spaces were and I was able to type it in and it worked just fine an fact the damed thing keeps bothering me to restart now after the downloads were loaded.
    Thanks again
