Re: windows update

OK, then open the registry and check if this key is present:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate
If yes, delete the windowsupdate key.

Re: windows update

OK, then let's try something else, but i do not know if it will work with home version?

Click Start, type in the search bar: mmc.exe then press Enter.
In the console click File / Add Remove Snap-in and find "Group Policy Object Editor", add to Local machine and click OK.

In Computer Configuration / Administrative Templates / Windows Components / Windows Update, have a look if something is configured, if it is, double click and set it as "Not Configured".

Close, reboot and try WU.

EDIT:
BTW, did you reboot (you have to) after modifying the registry key?

Re: windows update

Steve, I have followed your instructions as above but when I type in wuaueng.dll it tells me it failed and to check path, etc. How do I fix this? Thanks
