Lost my MS windows update link
Help please...
I did some windows updates this morning then found I couldn't open my emails using MS Outlook 2003 - this has happened before [MS Ofice updates] and I've always system restored to just before they downloaded and then re-installed the updates a few at a time until I found the offending one as was recommended to me before -
this time however after system restore I've lost the ability in windows to download the updates again, the windows check for updates link is inactive via... start > control panel > system & security > windows update....
If I try to open Turn automatic updates on/off I get error message
Windows cannot find
‘_=(26EE0668-A00A-44D7-9371-BEB064C98683}|5|;;{36EEF7DB-88AD-4E81-AD…\pageSettings’.
I've a couple of programmes that won't open either.
Not sure the best course of action here, Should I system restore to an earlier time and try again or is there a greater problem?
