Oerks, what's that "TaxWise" bloat in the User-Agent?
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/817144 - "Method 4" should help.

Look under File Information on the below web page for x86 -based Windows

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932494

OUCH. Just checked that list and it's way too much information for the
Average User. Fastest way to determine if WUA 3.0 has installed is to
either check the WindowsUpdate.log
*FIRST*, open Internet Explorer, click Tools, Windows Updates
After the system has been scanned by WU, close Internet Explorer

Now go to Start > Run > type in

%windir%\windowsupdate.log
Click OK or press Enter

Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the log
There should be an entry that looks like this:

2007-05-17 16:03:28:243 2916 b68 Misc =========== Logging initialized
(build: 7.0.6000.374, tz: -0700) ===========
2007-05-17 16:03:28:243 2916 b68 Misc = Process: D:\Program
Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE
2007-05-17 16:03:28:243 2916 b68 Misc = Module:
D:\WINDOWS\system32\wuweb.dll

> build: 7.0.6000.374

The above shows that WUA 3.0 is installed
You can also check the wuaengine.dll Version number by showing hidden
files, folders, and system files:
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tuto...l62.html#winxp

Then, using Windows Explorer, navigate to the WINDOWS\system32 subfolder
Locate wuaengine.dll, right click it, choose Properties, click the
Version tab.
It should be at V. 7.0.6000.374

To confirm KB927891 has installed, locate Msi31.dll, which *should also*
be located in WINDOWS\system32. It will now be at Version 3.1.4000.4039.
[I've never had to install KB927891 as none of my systems have
experienced lockups as described by the KB article]

Taxwise is a federal tax preparation program. I have always been able to get
to Microsoft Windows Update with program on my system. The problem started
after reloading .Net V2 due to a problem installing the latest security
update for V2.

Been there and done that with otion four (4). Doesn't help.

I downloaded the two pgms and stopped wuauserv and i even took a system
control point, but when I went to run the first pgm I got a message saying
Windows update agent is already loaded.

Any suggestions? You have been a real great help and I really appreciate it.
