Posted October 10, 201311 yr Greetings. I hope you can help me. I was not able to obtain Windows Updates. I could not connect to the site. In addition, I was unable to get updates for Microsoft Security Essentials. After much searching and trying procedures, BITS was not in Serices. I eventually was able to have an entry there, but the file required was not on my computer. Thus I downloaded and ran Dial-a-Fix version 0.60.0.24 I checked box 3 Fix Windows Updates. Other boxes in 4 a 5 became checked. The program hung up on cryptography - over 30 minutes. I clicked on the red X, but the program continued to give the message "cancelling after current procedure completes". I opened task manager and stopped the program. I ran the program again using the same check on Window Updates. The same hang up appeared. I looked in Task Manager -> Processes but could not find MSiEXEC.EXE. So The program sits with the message "cancelling after current procedure completes". I do not want to reboot the computer for fear that it will not boot. Do you have any advice or suggestions?
October 11, 201311 yr Author Thanks for your reply. I want to know what to do about Dial-a-Fix which is still hung up. I have restarted most of the services, even if I did not know what they were for. What else has Dial-a-Fix changed or stopped?
October 11, 201311 yr Administrator Honestly, I'd just close Dial-a-fix and run the Windows Update Repair. I believe there's a Log function in Dial-a-fix which tells you what it has done.
