Re: Failed Critical Update/ Windows Update

Try installing Windows Script 5.7 and see if it resolves the problem:

»www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta···ylang=en

Installing Windows Script 5.7 should ensure that the scripting components are at the latest version.

You should then not need KB944338.

Are you running IE7 on Windows XP SP2?

Yes, IE7, XP SP2 is what I have installed but I run Firefox.

Is there something I missed?

Something somebody or some thing missed, apparently:

As auggy just noted, as well.

It is possible that the scripting files did not properly install when you installed IE7.

It is also possible that the scripting files may have been over-written with an older version as might occur by the installation of a third party program or manually installing an older version of Windows Script.

There is a good discussion of the problem in the following link:

Anyway, glad you got it fixed.
