Hi Steve,

Its very nice when someone does the research for themselves, rather than
posts a new message about something that has been posted before.

Thank you for your update.

NOTE - The first time you run CCleaner's Issues scanner you'll have to keep

Hi Engel and dean,

thank-you very much for the info u gave dasha i was having a similar
problem and it all worked perfectly.

BRILLIANT, thank you.

I have wasted hours this last week trying to deal with the problem, and only
an hour ago got onto this forum.

CCleaner didn't solve the problem but DIAL-A-FIX did; all updates went
through after I had run Dial-a-Fix on Windows Update plus accepting its
Registry fixes.

Many, many thanks,
Bill Tillick
