Try - Install/reinstall Windows Update Client

x64-based versions of Windows - download the WindowsUpdateAgent30-x64.exe package now.

Please see if installing the 3.0 client resolves the problem.

Good Luck

don't understand this...are you saying on another PC you cannot download the files and save to a USB stick...?

if that's true you have real problems with your network/lan setup

Good Luck

Sorry did not explain it well.
I can download on a pc, save to USB but cannot open the program when I try on the lproblem aptop.
This is a new laptop bought for xmas.

If this is 2 weeks old laptop, I'd hurry, and I'd bring it back to the store, before 30 days period expires.
Don't monkey around it anymore, or your warranty may be voided.

Unfortunately it was bought mid November. Not to worried about that as 1979 Sales of Goods Act covers for this beyond the stores 30 day policy.
There are plenty of posts out there about the problem so would like to fix it without sending it back

A new laptop with only a 30 day warranty ? ?
If you read up on that error message it can be quite a pain to fix...
I'd take Broni's advice.

one thing you could try...

 open a command window(window key+r then type cmd), once the command window is open type sfc /scannow(notice the space between sfc and /scannow)....this will check your system
files to insure they are intact....if it finds incorrect files you'll need your windows CD...

Good Luck

Hi,

Thought I would give up date. After a few mails from the vendor they sent a mail showing how to restore the laptop to factory setting and then go from there. That was done and so far apps like Win updates and msgr are working. Not sure why we did not get the error message reappear when we updated but it hasnt (yet)

Good going
