I am unable to download updates from the window site.
All goes well scanning/selecting downloads but then
download connection is never made and no progress
indicated on the pop-up window. I have tried all
recommendded corrections from Windows FAQ pages to no
avail, including re-registering regsver32 files, .JS
applicaion to perform action, etc.

Additionally, I have a "internet exporer script error"
message at every page I pull up

line : 228
error: Interface not registered
code: 0
url: res://C:\WINDOWS\system32\shdoclc.dll/preview.dlg
 
Windows version?

Download stops or freezes. The Windows Update - Web Page Dialog window
appears but download never starts

Also try, in order:

1. (Re-)Installing 5.6 Scripting Engine from
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/downloads/list/webdev.asp

2a. Start>Run>Regsvr32 vbscript.dll

2b. Start>Run>Regsvr32 jscript.dll

3. Re-register all DLLs listed in http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=281679

4a. IE Tools>Internet Options>Advanced>Browsing>Enable third-party browser
extensions (uncheck & reboot).

4b. Find the hijacker that caused 4a to be checked:

You *must* seek updates for Ad-Aware, Spybot, etc., before each and every
use, even "right out of the box". But even then, they can't catch
everything. When all else fails, HijackThis
(http://www.merijn.org/files/hijackthis.zip) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware. **Post
your files to http://forums.spywareinfo.com/ or the Spyware forum at
http://forum.aumha.org/ for expert analysis, not here.**

As part of the hunt, also update your virus definitions and then run a full
system scan. From now on, do both daily.
