After installing the windows update activex control, I now see a new file "WUWebControl Class" listed in the "Downloaded Program Files" folder. Did anyone else have to install this update during this months patches?  |

Anyone else have this problem, or better yet, a solution? |

| reply to dp Two questions that came up with this month's foray: 1. Once again, I get a notice that it has to "update windows" first (which I recall in the past was the WGA) which I have to allow in order to continue. Why does this keep happening? 2. Someone (I believe it was OZO) posted a great WU.bat script that turns on auto updates and BITS temporarily so you can run MU, and then turns them back off. It works great on XP, but now friends and family are moving to Vista (yeah, yeah). Anything like it for Vista? Many, like me, don't want to run AU. -- The truth of a thing is the feel of it, not the think of it. -- Stanley Kubrick |

Did anyone experience this and how do you fix it? I am having that problem right now. Won't reboot in normal mode only safe mode. Working on it now. Will let you know how it goes.
Update: Just did a restore prior to update and will mess with it later. To busy to figure it out today.
