To download updates for your Windows computer, please see your network administrator.' Why? I have installed a standard single-user upgrade version of Windows Me for use on a single PC at home?? I am not part of any organisation! |

| 11146 | 2001-04-10 23:00:00 | The problem with the Windows Update Wizard is you have to register Windows on-line for it to work. Now you can either do that, or there is a registry work around. The details of this is in the IDG book, More Windows 98 Secrets. If you are happy to make a .reg file and merge it into the registry, its as follows: REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion] 'RegDone'='1' [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Welcome\RegWiz] '2'='1' Acknowledgements to Brian Livingstone & David Straub. |

( They will be in one of the .cab files) WUPDMGR.EXE --> extract this file to [..\windows] WUPDINFO.DLL --> extract this file to [..\windows\system] *** STEP2: Goto StartMenu > RUN; at the dialog box type in the following command-line syntax, then press Enter. REGSVR32 WUPDINFO.DLL *** STEP3: Import registry settings; see below... (a) Copy & Paste the following data to Notepad and save it as a registry data file (i.e., Filename.reg) NOTE: Prior to saving the file, replace 'HKCU' with 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER'; replace 'HKLM' with 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE' (without the quotes). Sorry I had to do this, but the regkey was too long to fit... (b) Import the file (you've just saved) into the registry ----------- Copy & Paste here ------------------------------------ REGEDIT4 [HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Pol icies\Explorer] 'NoWindowsUpdate'=dword:00000000 [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Exp lorer\WindowsUpdate] 'UpdateURL'='wupdmgr.exe' ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
