|| Hi, I got an error message when trying to do a windows update. It
|| directed me to an article (# 319585) which ultimately directed me to
|| delete the files named: iuctl.dll and iuengine.dll Then it said
|| to go to the Windows Update web page to install new copies of ActiveX
|| Controls. I tried to do this but couldn't find how or where to get
|| this download for Windows 98. Any advice?

| Did you delete ALL the copies, as the article said...

| Remove the Windows Update ActiveX Controls
|
| 1. Click Start, click Find, and then click For Files or Folders.
| Search for the files named iuctl.dll and Iuengine.dll.
| 2. Delete all copies of these files.
| 3. Visit the Windows Update Web site to install new copies
| of the ActiveX controls.
| .......EOQ................
|
| Windows Update should automatically notice they are gone & commence to
| reinstall them, as I recall it. Do the rest of what the article said.
| Also, maybe...
|
| (a) Open Explorer to "C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files".
| (b) R-Clk "Update Class", & select "remove".
| (c) There was an older one there that also pertained to
| Windows Update. If you can identify it (forgot its name),
| remove it too.
UPDATE: The older one was call "CV3 Class". Remove it for being
obsolete!
| Go to the site, & see whether these things will come back in!
