Help, I am unable to run win update. I am logged on as the administrator
when I try to run the update. My security settings in IE are the default, I
double checked that the Administrator account is part of the Administrators
Group, which according to the description, still has complete control over
the machine and domain. I even read the KB article (whose link is displayed
in the error page) and did what it said, which is to delete the 2 ActiveX
controls, namely, Icutl.dll and Iuengine.dll. Then I rebooted, but still no
update. I also selected "run as" the administrator for the update link (on
my start menu) but still I am unable to run update. Then I set my security
settings to the lowest and tried it again, and this time a security warning
box displayed saying that the authenticity can not be verifiied and the
problem listed below is "A system level error occurred while verifying
trust". A link with "Microsoft Corp." was also was displayed and when
clicked showed info that seemed to verify it was a MS control, so I said
"yes" to install the control. But after a minute or so, IE displayed a
page that said the update was incomplete either because I said "no" to
install the control (which I definately didn't), or my security settings are
too high, but it is set to the lowest. I then went to the control panel and
set up win update to run automatically, and it seemed to work, however I
didn't see any more of the folders in WINNT folder that are titled
"$NTUninstallKB......", and everytime I open IE it goes to the update site
because it thinks (and maybe rightfully so) that more updates are needed
(the latest date of those $NT.. folders are Jan 5 04, so I'm sure I need
more updates). I also can not log into my passport account (i.e. my hotmail
account or msn), which has the stock ticker activex control. After clicking
the "signin" button, I get the error "page cannot be displayed". So
something is wrong with the ability to run active x controls.
Now this is a recently rebuild of Win 2000 Advanced Server. And I've been
using it lately as a fileserver and nothing more (I was planning on using it
as a db server for my development).
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
