While trying to download recently I received an error message to say win. download manager not working.I went into "services" and found it was missing.After searching web I found a patch called "msiserver.reg" I used it to import to registry.on looking at "services" again it was back.However it still goes missing on a regular basis I regedit using the above and back it comes but obviously I would like it to remain pemanently has anyone had similar and solved the problem?

With a problem like this the best solution is often the easiest. I would try a system restore

I hope that you kept your System Restore up to date.

Wither, it's best to use this link as it has every version on the same page

System Update Readiness Tool that fixes Windows Update problems is available for Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 R2, and Windows Server 2008

Under the heading Download and install the System Update Readiness Tool, you should see two Methods. Under Method 2: Use the Microsoft Download Center, click on Click here to show/hide the solution. You should now see all of the download links

I have vista basic 32bit not 64 is there one for 32bit?

Here's the download link for Vista 32bit

Download: System Update Readiness Tool for Windows Vista (KB947821) [May 2012] - Microsoft Download Center - Download Details
