If perchance you have the answer I would love to hear it.Thanks.	Cicero (40)
382570	2005-08-20 22:12:00	You mean validation, not registration? Registration isnt compulsory, but you have to validate your version of XP before u check for updates on the windowsupdate site (if u havent yet) . Thats if you're talking about the windowsupdate site . BUT once it validates your version of XP, it shouldnt have to validate again .	Speedy Gonzales (78)

Thats if you're talking about the windowsupdate site . BUT once it validates your version of XP, it shouldnt have to validate again . No speedy,I mean registration . I noted that I had not had an update for a while . So went to updates,it said look for updates,clicked on express updates,it said I was no longer Files required to use Windows Update are no longer registered or installed on your computer . To continue I must register,which I did 100% it said,so I tried again but all it said is a repeat of the above . .	Cicero (40)

382575	2005-08-20 23:41:00	It looks like a few people have been getting this prob. You're not alone! Try this Start > Run > regsvr32 wuapi.dll Start > Run > regsvr32 wups.dll Start > Run > regsvr32 wuaueng.dll Start > Run > regsvr32 wucltui.dll Start > Run > regsvr32 atl.dll Start > Run > regsvr32 MSXML3.dll Restart the computer, and then try Windows Update site again	Speedy Gonzales (78)

Thanks pal,you may now take the rest of the day off,on full pay. :thumbs:	Cicero (40)
382577	2005-08-21 00:19:00	So, I take it u can now do something :thumbs: Umm validation wasnt compulsory/mandatory, up until 3-4 weeks ago now . Because of pirated versions of XP . So, you're not the only one who will get it . Everyone using XP will have to go thru the same thing . And so will people, who use Windows 2000 soon .	Speedy Gonzales (78)
