I get this message on YouTube quite a bit. Java Script is not turned off. I click the link to get the latest player, the little flash video comes on and it says installation of the new Flash player is complete, yet I continue to get the error message I don't have the right Flash player. Anyone know what the problem is?

Okay I have a problem with my Office 2007 updates. For some reason they it says they are downloaded (and I think I did download them) but whenever I try to install them, it fails. Then the yellow ! shows up a few hours later trying to install those updates again.

Is there a way I can re download those updates or what should I do?

Try stopping the Automatic Updates service (Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Services), deleting the contents of the folder C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution, then starting the Automatic Updates service back up. See if that will let you redownload and install the updates.

Just an update and I found it odd considering someone else talking about Windows updates...

The 3rd problem and the CPU usage at 100% ended up being a problem with the windows update...

It is a worm that Windows never found a patch for...The only way to stop it is to turn off windows update...After that my computer works like a charm again...

I do have one little problem that maybe someone on here can help me with...

I have a problem viewing videos...Like Youtube, for example...When it does play I get no sound, but most of the time it plays for 3 or 4 seconds and then it won't play, even tho the buffering is completely done...I was able to play the windows media player video the other night of the big 33 game, but videos on youtube...Rivals video, scout video wont work for me...Any help?

I'd highly advise against turning off Windows Update. You can view the Windows Update log, usually in the folder C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution, look for WindowsUpdate.log. Go through that and you should get an error code, 8 digits long, hexadecimal.

Try copying the following text into notepad, and saving as filename.bat. Then double-click the .bat file

Code: 
@echo off 
net.exe stop wuauserv 
regsvr32.exe /s jscript.dll 
regsvr32.exe /s msxml3.dll 
regsvr32.exe /s atl.dll 
regsvr32.exe /s iuengine.dll
regsvr32.exe /s wuapi.dll
regsvr32.exe /s wuaueng1.dll
regsvr32.exe /s wuauserv.dll
regsvr32.exe /s wuaueng.dll
regsvr32.exe /s wucltui.dll
regsvr32.exe /s wups.dll
regsvr32.exe /s wuweb.dll
regsvr32.exe /s wups2.dll
regsvr32.exe /s cdm.dll
regsvr32.exe /s msxml2r.dll
regsvr32.exe /s msxml3r.dll
regsvr32.exe /s msxml.dll
regsvr32.exe /s msxml3.dll
regsvr32.exe /s msxmlr.dll
regsvr32.exe /s msxml2.dll
regsvr32.exe /s qmgr.dll
regsvr32.exe /s qmgrprxy.dll 
net.exe start wuauserv 
wuauclt.exe /detectnow

But my computer is not being effected, by not having them on...They are just a pain in the ass IMO...

But just for clarification...This error code is going to tell me which one of the updates is giving me the worm...

The article I was reading on it, said that there is no patch and the only way to get rid of it is to stop the auto updates...

By not installing Windows updates, all you're doing is leaving your computer open to attacks. Honestly, the only way you're going to get rid of the worm or virus is to format the hard disk and reinstall Windows in a secure manner (install XP sp3 from CD, before you connect the computer online for the first time). Once they get control of your PC, you pretty much have to assume they've done whatever they wanted to it, including installing keyloggers, bots, rootkits, and all other kinds of good stuff.

I'd be highly suspicious of any article that's telling you that a Microsoft update is giving you a worm. Trust me.

Save the file I attached, and change the name from "windows update fix.txt" to "windows update fix.bat", then double-click it. That will re-register a bunch of components and clear out any bad downloads.

That took care of it...much appreciated!!!
