I folled your instructions and I received an error on the REN:C\.... commands
so I renamed within explorer. Error came back from the run command as
cammand not found. the other error I encountered was on the regsvr32
wuauserv.dll gave me the following error:
Was loaded, but the dll register server entry point was not found. File
cannnot be registered.
Still cannot access windows update site. There are no entries in the
%windir%\windowsupdate.log except for auto updates.
Do I have a bad DLL? Can I reload Windows Update Agent? Do I have to
remove the old one first?
Thanks so much for the your help. You guys are great.
