Windows XP Update Manager

[Technically Challenged]

I am having an ongoing a problem with the Windows Update Manager program and
could use some help fixing the problem. When I first boot up my computer I
receive the following message:

"UpdateMng component has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are
sorry for the inconvenience.

Details – AppName: updatemgr.exe AppVer: 5.0.7.9 ModName: prplsf.dll
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 0000b087 Bottom of Form"

I also get the same error that others are getting when they try and run the
update manager program:

"Files required to use Microsoft Update are no longer registered or
installed on your computer. "

Some how I think that these problems are related and have tried to
re-register all the files mentioned by TaurArian. However, much to my
frustration, the problem continues... any suggestions?

Hi Cynthia,
Updatemgr.exe is a EarthLink 5.0 Update Manager file and prplsf.dll is a
file from Propel Dial-Up Accelerator. I suggest that you remove the program
Propel Dial-Up Accelerator from Start/Control panel/Add or Remove programs
and re-register the files mentioned by TaurArian or follow the steps below
to do that:
1. Click Start, Run, type: notepad C:\register.bat and press Enter. Choose
Yes
when you are prompted.
2. Copy the following commands and then paste them into the

The Process may take sometime.
After this restart your computer and try Windows Update.

Hi Anton!

Thanks for your help... I was able to get rid of my first problem with the
"UpdateMng component" error problem but I have been unsuccessful at
uninstalling Earthlink's Total Access & Accellerator programs. Sadly, my
Windows Update Manager still cannot find the files it is looking for...
inspite of following your lengthy instructions to the letter :-< Any more
suggestions, short of totally reformating everything from scratch?

~ Cynthia
