Cannot update from Windows

[thulse]

I have Windows ME I cannot update any critical programs, when I hit install
buttons, I wait but nothing there is a box telling to wait for download but it never comes so I press cancel and rpcrt4.dll comes up.
also, I come up with a blank screen after clipping on some place to go
for example I am in my mail room and maybe I click on like, win a vacation or
come win a new car, I clip and a blank screen comes up and also I may clip
on a url and blank screen comes up. I take that some url and put in my brower
address bar and it works

if you know the numbers of the updates you need you can download the updates manually

You may also need to update your windows installer.

Download stops or freezes. The Windows Update - Web Page Dialog window appears but download never starts

Problem Description:
After accepting the EULA, the Windows Update - Web Page Dialog window appears but the download never starts. Nothing "moves" on the download progress bar, no matter how long you leave the connection open.


Resolutions:
Please re-register the following files:

regsvr32 msscript.ocx
regsvr32 dispex.dll
regsvr32 vbscript.dll
regsvr32 scrrun.dll

1. Click "Start," and then click "Run."
2. Type regsvr32 msscript.ocx in the "Open" box and click "OK."
3. Repeat for dispex.dll,vbscript.dll, and scrrun.dll.

Next, make sure file (open) type .JS is properly associated:
1. In Control Panel, click "Folder Options," and then click "File Types."
2. Locate the .JS extension and click "Advanced."
3. Make sure the "Application to perform action" field contains: C:\WINDOWS\System32\WScript.exe "%1" %* This is for a Windows XP computer. For Windows 2000 substitute the C:\WINDOWS\ with C:\Winnt\. For Windows 98 and Windows Millenium Edition substitute this: C:\WINDOWS\System\ for C:\Windows\system32.
