RE: Checking for the latest updates for your computer...

My fix:
Go to update.microsoft.com
Click in the left pane "Change Settings"
Scroll down on page in right pane and and put a checkmark in "Disable
Microsoft Update software and let me use Windows Update only " and hit button
"Apply changes now".

Dont "install" MICROSOFT update until you finshed an odinary WINDOWS update.

Re: Checking for the latest updates for your computer...

If you have a Wireless Router:-
In the security tab, make sure you aren't blocking AcitveX.

"Checking for latest updates for your computer" - Possible reasons :-
1. Internet Explorer temporary files corrupted.
2. Background Intelligent and Event Log service not started
3. SoftwareDistribution folder has become corrupted
4. You may need to re-registered some dlls files
5. You may need to add Windows Update to the Trusted Sites Zone:
6. Spyware.
7. Third party programs running in background.
8. ActiveX controls corrupted

Suggestion 1:-
Clearing Temporary Internet files, cookies and history in Internet Explorer
Tools>Internet Options>General
You'll see Delete Cookies, Delete files, Delete History
NB: "Delete all offline content", will delete all files needed to browse the websites
offline.
Reboot and try Windows Update again.

Suggestion 2:-
1: Check that the Background Intelligent Transfer Service to is set to Automatic and
verify the Status is Started.
Click Start, Choose Run, and in the Run box, type services.msc, Click OK
Locate the Background Intelligent Transfer Service service, and right-click to select it.
Select Properties, and in the Startup Type list, select Automatic. Verify the service
Status is Started. Click OK.

2. Check that the Set Event Log service is set to Automatic and verify that the Status is
Started
Click Start, Choose Run, and in the Run box, type services.msc, Click OK.
Locate the Event Log service, and right-click to select it.
Select Properties., and in the Startup type list, select Automatic. Verify the Service
status is Started. Click OK.

3. Register qmgr.dll and qmgrprxy.dll
Click Start, Choose Run and in the Run box, type regsvr32 qmgr.dll, Click OK.
Click Start, Choose Run and in the Run box, type regsvr32 qmgrprxy.dll, Click OK.

Suggestion 3:-
It is possible that the contents of the SoftwareDistribution folder have become corrupted,
so try renaming the SoftwareDistribution folder
Click Start, Choose Run.
In the Run box, type services.msc.
Click OK.
Right-click the Automatic Updates service.
Click Stop.
Stopping the service will take a moment.

Rename the "SoftwareDistribution" folder:
a. Click Start, click Run, type: %systemroot%
Click OK.
b. Right-click the SoftwareDistribution folder, and then click Rename.
c. Type SoftwareDistribution.old, and then press ENTER to rename this folder.

Click Start. Choose Run.
In the Run box, type services.msc.
Click OK.
Right-click the Automatic Updates service.
Click Start.
Starting the service will take a moment.

Please note that your update history is contained in the "datastore" folder and when you
rename the Software Distribution folder, the history is lost but it's not important. You
can if need be, copy the contents back from the renamed softwareDistribution.old folder.
Losing the history of Windows Updates is not important.

Suggestion 4:-
Certain files may have become unregistered, and you will need to register them again:-
Click Start, Choose Run and in the Run box, type regsvr32 wuaueng1.dll, Click OK.

Do the same for the other files:-
wucltui.dll
wuaueng.dll
wuapi.dll
jscript.dll
MSXML.DLL
MSXML2.DLL
MSXML3.DLL

Suggestion 5:-

Add Windows Update to the Trusted Sites Zone:
Please note that Security settings in Internet Explorer must be set to Medium or lower for
ActiveX files to correctly pass to your computer.
Only the Web sites listed in Internet Explorer's Trusted Sites Zone will be affected by
the lowering of Security settings. Your current security settings for all other Web sites
will remain as they are currently configured.

Open Internet Explorer, click Tools, and then click Internet Options, Click Security.
Click Trusted Sites Zone. Click Sites.
Clear the Require server verification (https for all sites in this zone check box.
Use the Add button next to the Add this Web site to the zone box to add the following
sites:
http://*.update.microsoft.com
https://*.update.microsoft.com
http://download.windowsupdate.com

Suggestion 6:-

Please note that some malware may kill the internet connection when it is removed, the

Suggestion 7:-
Make sure you haven't got anything blocking Windows Update like Nortons, Zonealarm etc
Also make sure you don't have a Web Accelerator working in the background such as
NetZerio, HiSpeed, Speedband etc.

Suggestion 8:
If you need to reinstall the ActiveX controls (because they may have become corrupt):-

Follow this article -
The Windows Update Web site and the Microsoft Update Web site do not scan for updates when
you repair a failed installation of Windows XP Service Pack 2 or of Windows XP Service
Pack 1

Re: Checking for the latest updates for your computer...

0x80010106 E_INVALID_FLAGS or RPC_E_CHANGED_MODE

That's the first time I've seen that error in this NG. It might mean
> Cannot change thread mode after it is set

Here's where the update process is failing

2008-07-08 14:46:50:265 796 650 COMAPI FATAL: Call to CallbackWorker()
failed, hr=80010106

The Windows Update Agent can not proceed with the download/installation
of updates because of the above. I'm not sure if it's being caused by
3rd party software, IE add-ons or tool bars.
What are the installed:

1) Toolbars
2) Popup/cookie blockers/download managers/internet 'accelerators'
3) IE add-ons

It's weird that the system can communicate with the update servers but a
component is failing to communicate with the system. It's either 3rd
party software or malware that caused this.

I *think* this may also be a clue:

COMAPI - ServiceID = {9482F4B4-E343-43B6-B170-9A65BC822C77}

The above, taken from another log, is not showing in the snippet of the
log you posted.
But, your log does show the ServiceID

2008-07-08 14:46:44:265 1052 7e0 PT + ServiceId =
{9482F4B4-E343-43B6-B170-9A65BC822C77}

PT synchronizes updates information to the local datastore
The COMAPI should be identifying the ServiceID somewhere in the log.
Now that I think about it ... try this. Open a Command Prompt
Start > Run > type in cmd and click OK or press Enter

At the prompt, type in the below, exactly as written, and then press Enter

esentutl /g %windir%\softwaredistribution\datastore\datastore.edb

Note the space between the g and the %
That should give you a report on the integrity of the update database.

*Please post back with the installed software and the result of the
integrity report.*

Re: Checking for the latest updates for your computer...

While I appreciate the efforts of the gentleman below, this is pure insanity.
I paid lots of money for my Microsoft software. I got an equally byzantine
response from a helpful Chinese MS staffer on solutions to get around my
LAPTOP BEING UNABLE TO UPDATE SINCE 2006.

Again, I repeat, this is insanity.

I am getting an Apple.

CAN WE SAY "APPLE"?

I'll find out how much cross-over licensing is for software that I have, and
just do it.

I don't even have much third-party software on this computer. I don't surf
bad web sites or install lots of free software.

I just wanted a laptop that would run dependably.

F&&cking crooks.
