Re: [Error number: 0x80072EE2]

I tried your solution (regsvr32 wuaueng.dll) and was successful to access
WinXP update, I have Norton Internet Security and not sure if that caused my
problem but was able to overide glitch. Thanks for the input and saveing my
time searching and trying to implement MS solutions which I'm sure work but
have alot of steps to it.
