I got to loking at what you told me about option four. I went back into
regedit and checked again under
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\microsoft\currentversio n\internet settings and
there is also a user agent under internet setting besides the one under 5.0.
This is where all the taxwise notations were coming from.
I reloaded taxwise when I had problems with .net. I have two other years of
this program on my machine and never had this problem. I don't know why this
registered this time.
I removed all the notations after exporting them and windows update works
again.
Thanks for your assistance and time. You people are great!
