Automatic Updates

Hi,
I'm using Windows XP SP2. My automatic update keeps disabling itself. Have
tried the settings using Run - services.msc - automatic updates to enable it.
It can be enabled but I can't start it. Whenever I click on start, automatic
updates will disable itself and give this message "Could not start the
Automatic Updates service on Local Computer" Error Code: 1058.

I've also tried changing the Background Intelligent Transfer and Event Log
settings to Manual. They can start but this still does not enable Automatic
Updates. Please HELP!!!

Thanks!

Run a /thorough/ check for hijackware, including posting your hijackthis log
to an appropriate forum.

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA) computer repair shop.
