Windows Update shows missing files
mj
but it will not reinstall them. Is there a way to get these necessary files
with out using the restore cd and loosing all my information?
exact error message: Files required to use Windows Update are no longer
registered or installed on your computer. To continue:
Register or reinstall the files for me now (Recommended)
Let me read about more steps that might be required to solve the problem
-- the register or reinstall gives another error: The website has
encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are trying to view. The
options provided below might help you solve the problem.

MSXML3.DLL", the following worked for me, on a Windows 2000 Pro system:
0. Turn off virus protection temporarily.
1. Do a search for msxml3 on your entire system.
2. Delete *all* files containing msxml3, which in my case was
msxml3.dll, msxml3r.dll, msxml3a.dll.
3. Restart.
4. Download and install the latest msxml3.msi from Microsoft's web
site.
5. Try Microsoft Update and see if it works.
6. Repeat 3-5 if there are any complaints from any of the programs.
7. Turn virus protection on again.
Worked like a charm for me. Perhaps it is time for me to move to Vista?
;)

1. Start your own post instead of hijacking a 2006 thread with symptoms
similar to your own problems. Please also state your OS including SP level
and if appropriate whether you're updated to IE8.
2. Perhaps this is relevant (if appropriate ignore the title) - Updates are
not installed successfully from Windows Update, from Microsoft Update, or by
using Automatic Updates after you perform a new Windows XP installation or
you repair a Windows XP installation
