I installed on both my Desktop and Laptop successfully. However, only on my
Desktop am I able to update definition files. My Laptop is linked via
wireless network to the web -- ANY IDEAS ANYONE??

Regs, gliva
 
I did, now I appear to be stuck in some sort of look whereby it states:
"Files required to use Microsoft Update are no longer registered or
installed on your computer. To continue: Register or reinstall the files
for me now (Recommended)".

Upon doing this, about a minute later the same message appears, and again,
and again... ANY MORE IDEAS??
 
Hi gliva,

I quote Stu--a regular contributor here:

Start/Run
Type "services.msc"
Click "OK"

Please check the following are started:

1.Automatic Updates
2.Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS)
3.Cryptographic Services
4.Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
5.System Restore Service

To verify that BITS is correctly configured :

1. Double-click `Background Intelligent Transfer Service.`
2. In the Startup type box, click Manual, and then Apply.
3. Click the `Log On` tab, and then verify that the service is enabled in
every hardware profile that you have listed. If the service is disabled in
one or more hardware profiles, click the hardware profile, Enable, and then
Apply.
4. Click the General tab and then Start.

If BITS starts successfully, visit the Windows Update Web site or the
Microsoft Update Web site to see if you can obtain updates. If it works OK,
change (2.) to automatic.

Hope this post was useful - unlike the last :)

Stu
