It would be easier to tell which steps are for which OS if they were sorted that way or better, this fix was rewritten for the exact OS and version is is for.

I found many fixes with this problem and lots of the regedit changes don't exist in different OS versions.

Could not even download the fix or get the auto fix to run.

The error I get is 80244019

Error Code: 80070005 "WindowsUpdate_80070005" "WindowsUpdate_dt000"

I tried to run it in windows XP PRO and I got a message : the fix it does not apply to your system

My first problem was the update program hanging. In attempting to fix it, prior to the Fix It, I "broke" my event log so it would not start automatically. I tried the Update Fix-it and it worked.  However, I had to do a repair install of Vista w/ sp1, to fix my event log and several other services that were not starting automatically.  Now windows update is hanging again.  I have tried both the default and aggressive fix it - both hang at the Check Windows Update status spot and I have to kill the Fix It.  I have since install SP2 - still have the problem.  I am using the most recent version of Fix it.

THIS RESOLUTION IS ROBBED BY MS FROM ANSWERS.MICROSOFT.COM..

WITHOUT GIVING CREDIT TO THE PERSON WHO MADE IT..

I don't understand why the link to this fix and the download is not easier to find. I have spent 5 days searching for the solution to the error I got when running updates and not one time did that link appear in the microsoft or bing results.

ridiculous. totally shameful.

Incredible that this new fangled opearting system is now being superceded by windows 7. Hopefully this will not be as a diasater as windows 6 vista. What a waste of money XP ran fine and this overbloated system came along to fool us to buy it and then for a whole bunch of people the update service just fails and causes tremendous amounts of loss in time and hair. Thank you, yet again Microsoft! Apart from 98 and XP. The rest of the cousins kind of stunk a little. Hopefully the new windows 7 isn't a smelly cousin and is a nice clean well shaved boy. We should all get a free upgrade to it if we have update errors, but I doubt if that would happen.
