Try this:

 

Get Dial-a-Fix:

http://wiki.djlizard.net/Dial-a-fix

 

Use its options to fix:

- Windows Installer

- Windows Update

- All the Registration Center options.

 

Turn off the "Empty System32\Catroot 2"

Do NOT do "Flush SoftwareDistribution".

 

Then click "GO" and wait until it is done... Reboot may be needed.

 

- Download/Install Windows Update v3.

http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=91237

(You may need to install it using the command line switch "/wuforce" right

after an additional reboot - immediately after logging in.)

 

- Download/Install the 927891 patch.

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=7A81B0CD-A0B9-497E-8A89-404327772E5A

 

- Reboot.

 

- Visit http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ and scan for/install updates.

 

- Come back and let us know how things went!

Monroe Ruda,

 

Any error messages?

 

Are you logged in as an administrator or part of the admin group when trying to

install these updates?
