Hi,
Click start/run, type %WINDIR%\WINDOWSUPDATE.LOG and click ok. This
should open the log in notepad. Scroll to the bottom, look for the
latest visit and an error code in the format of 0x00000000. Reply to
this message with this error code.

Just noticed...although I have automatic updates on zero updates since
last year!
So tried to do this manually...
Says checking computer has the latest version...click Express or
Custom
I click Express
Says checking on latest updates...
hen says Files required to windows update are no longer registered or
installed on your computer..
...to continue click Register or reinstall files (recommended)
So clicked this...
Says downloading the latest updating software
..then get the choice of clicking Express or Custom buttons again!!
Seems to be in a loop.
Any advice please?
Thanks. Dave
