Unable to install updates Ted 01-01-2008

A week ago I was all up to date with IE7. I had to reinstall my op system (XP
Home) because I deleted some .dll files while uninstalling some programs. It
reverted back to IE6. I went and downloaded and installed IE7. I
automatically get told I have 70 updates I need to make, but when I try to
install them, all it says is that windows was unable to install the updates.
What can I do to get this thing up to date? Any help would be appreciated!

Updates are not installed successfully from Windows Update,
from Microsoft Update, or by using Automatic Updates after
you repair a Windows XP installation
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943144

Can't figure that out?

Get Dial-a-Fix:
http://wiki.djlizard.net/Dial-a-fix

Use its options to fix:
- Windows Installer
- Windows Update
- All the Registration Center options.

Turn off the "Empty System32\Catroot 2"
Do NOT do "Flush SoftwareDistribution".

Then click "GO" and wait until it is done... Reboot will be needed.

- Download/Install Windows Update v3.

http://download.windowsupdate.com/WindowsUpdate/redist/standalone/7.0.6000.381/WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe
(You *may* need to install it using the command line switch "/wuforce"
right after the reboot - immediately after logging in.)

- Download/Install the 927891 patch.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=7A81B0CD-A0B9-497E-8A89-404327772E5A

- Reboot.

- Visit http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ and scan for/install updates.

- Come back and let us know how things went!

Thank you for the timely response. I was able to make the correct repair by
registering my "wu" DLL files. That solved my problem.
