When I go to the Microsoft Update site and click 'Express' the following
message appears:
'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)'

I do not know why this message appears and if I click to reinstall the files
I get back to the Window where I choose either 'Express' (Recommended) or
'Custom'

Doesn't matter which I choose to click on the same message ['Files required
to use MS Update ........']

Appears to be a repetitive cycle from which I get nowhere.

I had initially set my system to 'Automatic Update' and this worked without
a hitch until recently and have had no auto updates since mid August

Platform: Windows XP Home Ed. incl.SP2
CPU Pentium P4 3.0GH
RAM: 1GB

I would appreciate any help that could be given

Thank you
 
I found this on a web site

Try this

If you get the error with windows update:

Files required to use Windows Update are no longer registered or installed
on your computer. To continue:

and the instructions on screen don't work, then

on the Start/Run line enter:


regsvr32 MSXML3.dll


This seems to fix the problem.
