Hello DAL peoples,

Saterday I went to start my computer (Dell Xps Gen 4: Hardware Scan | D-A-L Computer Help

scanner/app/results.php?id=1b3f75b484b0edbbe0422988a386e53a) and during boot. Dos

text informed I had an important NTLDR missing. I could do nothing but restart my system.

I tracked down some information on how to fix the NTLDR file. I popped my windows xp

pro cd into my cd rom drive and booted from there. I was planning on installing the OS all

over again, but I noticed a repair option. Luckly after it repaired my system, I was able to

keep most of my programs etc. Now I'm am trying to get my PC back to the way it was

before the NTLDR missing issue and my pc wants to install "Security Update for Windows

XP (KB956744)" I downloaded and I have the yellow shield icon in my right hand tray. But

they will not install. I attempt to install, it proceeds, it closes. Then pops right back up

saying I need to install them again. I ran a complete scan with Anti-Spyware and Malware

Megabytes in safe mode and they did not find any infections. I ran the windows clean up

utility and still no luck. I ran dial a fix and it states so files like jesetup.dll, imgutil.dll,

inseng.dll, mshtml.dll, msrating.dll, and many more were corrupt in my System32 folder.

I have no clue what I'm am to do to fix this?

Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated,

thanks

P.S

I downloaded Windows Media Player 11 and I passed the WGA.

FYI: I'm still haven't found a solution, I downloaded the security pack from Microsoft administrator's options where you can personally get the file your looking for. It said it installed successfully. But I'm still getting the installer icon.

I also tried a clean boot, Msconfig>disabled all 3rd party services except my Nvidia driver service. Still to o avail. I'm so stuck

Run through the Windows updates link in my signature and see if that helps your Windows Updates to download and install successfully.

Post back and let us know please.

I skipped method 1 as instructed!

method 2: regsvr32 .dlls

I checked all the regsvr32 dll files with cmd, and all were successful.

Method 3: Other Steps you can take to fix Windows Update

When I first got back into my computer after repairing, my time and date where different. The language was set to french and the time was in military time.

Check the language setting in Internet Explorer:

I do not have this option, no language button or tab in my IE browser.

I went to update my time and date and I got an error saying "An error has occurred while synchronizing with time.windows.com"

3. Make sure that the two boxes are checked that say "Enable SSL 2" or "Enable SSL 3".

I couldn't find these options

Still having the same issues with wondows updates.

Better put-

Before I suggest further assistance, please run SFCScannow to make sure you have no missing or corrupt .dll files.

Please let me know what version of IE browser you are using.

Did you go on to complete the 'Having trouble with Windows Updates' link in my signature right to the end.

kind regards,

Ok.

Start>run>type "sfc / scannow" cmd console pops up for a half second then closes and does nothing.

I'm using IE 8

I did complete the instructions you gave. Like I said I did not have some of the options that were instructed in my version of IE that I could find. The time and date server did not work at first, I tried another server and it was successful.
