For updates to work you have to allow scripting.  You might as well mark
that site as a trusted site in your firewall, etc.  (scary, huh, trusting
MS??).  I have an exclusion for it in Outpost and in SlimBrowser.

was rumoured to have uttered....

          |  Hi:
          |  
          |  I'm battling Windows update once again.  I was
          |  attempting to install a critical update from last
          |  month and when I get to the download box nothing
          |  happens...no download ever starts no bars of progress
          |  nothing...
          |  
          |  I went to the troubleshooting area and it gave me this
          |  fix:
          |  
          |  Please re-register the following files:
          |   regsvr32 msscript.ocx
          |   regsvr32 dispex.dll
          |   regsvr32 vbscript.dll
          |   regsvr32 scrrun.dll
          |  
          |  1.  Click "Start," and then click "Run."
          |  2.  Type regsvr32 msscript.ocx in the "Open" box and
          |  click "OK."
          |  3.  Repeat for dispex.dll,vbscript.dll, and
          |  scrrun.dll.
          |  
          |  Next, make sure file (open) type .JS is properly
          |  associated:
          |  1. In Control Panel, click "Folder Options," and then
          |  click "File Types."
          |  2. Locate the .JS extension and click "Advanced."
          |  3. Make sure the "Application to perform action" field
          |  contains:  C:\WINDOWS\System32\WScript.exe "%1" %*
          |  This is for a Windows XP computer. For Windows 2000
          |  substitute the C:\WINDOWS\ with C:\Winnt\.  For
          |  Windows 98 and Windows Millenium Edition substitute
          |  this: C:\WINDOWS\System\ for C:\Windows\system32.
          |  
          |  Unfortunately when I did start/run and entered these
          |  file names it couldn't find these files...what do I
          |  do?
          |  
          |  Thanks for your help!
          |  
          |  I have a gateway 433 mhz celeron processor 256 mb ram
          |  10 gig hd running Win 98SE.
