Hi

I am getting this problem increasingly that more and more new pcs fail to
download windows update. All pcs are dell which come preinstalled with win
xp pro sp2 and are connected to an sbs2003 server. All internet connectivity
is fine and office update works fine too. The problem with windows update is
that the download box comes up but for each update it says "failed!". Tried
several times but the results are the same.

What is the problem and how can I fix it?

Thanks

Regards

regsvr32 vbscript.dll

regsvr32 scrrun.dll



1. Click "Start," and then click "Run."

2. Type regsvr32 msscript.ocx in the "Open" box and click "OK."

3. Repeat for dispex.dll,vbscript.dll, and scrrun.dll.



Next, make sure file (open) type .JS is properly associated:

1. In Control Panel, click "Folder Options," and then click "File Types."

2. Locate the .JS extension and click "Advanced."

3. Make sure the "Application to perform action" field contains:
