Windows Update Won't Load error 0x80070424

I was working on removing a Trojan and no matter what I did, I couldn't get the windows update to start running.  The machine was clean from several scans from Malwarebytes, Microsoft Security, Essentials and Spyware Doctor.  Then I ran across this page.

Click Start -> Run
Type:  regsvr32 wuaueng.dll

Opened Windows update and it started working!

OS: Windows XP

  1. Thank you! This worked like a charm. Not So much for the Microsoft KB on this error.
