Can Any One Explain This And Sort Out This Problem Thanks.

if you are on a mac, then you need to access the site
from your emulation side.

kimsland: Macs don't have regsvr32

if you're really on Windows, just use the IE browser and run from an ADMIN account.

Windows OS

I have seen this error on PC with Windows installed
I'm sure you must have as well. (If not, then yes it can happen on faulty PC)

It could be a Mac too, but then it must be in a different forum

How Can You Create A Batch File?

And Im Using A Windows XP Im Not Using A Mac.

Adam
have you activated your copy of XP or is it perhaps a recovery install? I have seen this happen with installations that do not need activation such as on some laptops as well - and Kimsland's solution will not always work either.
To create a batch file, open notepad and enter the text commands. Then save it as a .bat file - eg update.bat to somewhere where you can find it easily such as the desktop perhaps.

I have attached a zip file holding Bat1 (step1) and Bat2 (Step7)

Download and unzip them (do not click on the bat files yet)

Please follow all steps, and run each Bat file when required

Also to stop the Cryptographic Service:
Start-->Run--> %SystemRoot%\System32\net.exe stop CryptSvc

To start the Cryptographic Service:
Start-->Run--> %SystemRoot%\system32\net.exe start CryptSvc

5. Rename the \Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder.

For This Step Kimsland What Do You Rename The Folder To.

SoftwareDistributionOLD

Im Afraid That Didnt Work Should I Undo The Actions I Did

No

Mainly due to being impossible!

Seems AlbertLionheart was right (Although I knew that it may/or may not work)

Please wait a moment, I'll be right back !

Please look here : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943144
And perform all steps.

Actually I am still on the hunt for another tool
But due to the time it's taking me. I would prefer that you complete the steps in the MS link.

Also is this Windows version legit?

Edit:

Try this one:

I think this is the tool I was trying to find
.

This Windows Version Is Legit Its The Version That Came Installed With The Computer When We Brought It.

This Is Saying That We Can't Install Updates Becuase The Site Thinks We Are Using A Mac When Infact We Are On Windows XP.

I Have Not Perform Any Of The Stages From The Website : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943144

ok thanks for the repeat on that

Anyway, please read my Edit above (it may have been missed)

Please try and let me know the outcome

With The Application What Should I Use When You Start It Theres Four Options;

Open Services Window
Phase 1
Phase 2
Start BITS

Here is the sequence:

Start BITS
Phase 1
Phase 2

You may need to press OK on each button press, also Phase2 may take a few seconds to complete.

Try Windows Update again after that

When I Started BITS I Got The Following Error;

Error while starting BITS. The problem was not fixed or BITS was already running.

Continue on, that's ok

Phase 1 then 2

Phrase One Says There Was Nothing To Fix And I Should Try Thrase Two

Phrase Two Says Done. Click Ok To Starts BITS Service Now.

BITS Says Error while starting BITS. The problem was not fixed or BITS was already running.

The Windows Update Site Still Says;

Ok we are on to the next one ! ( I'm patient, but how you going?)

Disconnect your Network Cable, and exit your personal firewall (usually right click on tray icon and select close or exit)

Click on Start-->Run and then type in this exact wording (actually you can copy and paste it)
sfc /scannow
This process can take up to 1 Hour to complete
It will not lose any data, or hurt your system what so ever

During the process, you may be asked for your Windows CD (just to copy files from)

Please do it (I would if that helps)
