Hello,

I was wondering if DAF works with Windows Vista. I can''t install some Windows Update. I purchase an eMachine a few months ago and everything was updating okay...for awhile. Now, I basically ignore the update (or Red Icon next to the lock Icon) upon shutdown. It seems fickle. When I boot up the Icon appear grey and happy -but other times it turns red. It might be red when I boot up - I've become somewhat jaded : (

Thanks!

Open Task Manager (control+shift+escape), go to the Processes tab and click "Show processes for all users" which will elevate Task Manager to admin. Then click File > New Task (Run)... and type CMD in the box and hit OK.

Close task manager. From the elevated command prompt type all of the following:

net stop cryptsvc

net stop bits

net stop wuauserv

regsvr32 cryptdlg

regsvr32 cryptui

regsvr32 cryptext

regsvr32 dssenh

regsvr32 mssign32

regsvr32 mssip32

regsvr32 scecli

regsvr32 softpub

regsvr32 rsaenh

regsvr32 winhttp

regsvr32 wintrust

regsvr32 licmgr10

regsvr32 wucltux

regsvr32 wuapi

regsvr32 wups

regsvr32 wups2

regsvr32 wuwebv

rmdir /s /q %systemroot%\system32\softwaredistribution

net start cryptsvc

net start bits

net start wuauserv

Then try Windows Update again.

Dial-a-fix will not be ready for Vista for several more months.

This did not work for my computer HELP!!!!

Trey:

I'd decided to give up on supporting Vista for now.

Try Microsoft PSS.

Also, did you do this from an elevated command prompt?
