the progress of available files stays at 0% and I dont
think any scanning is taking place.Every time I run
internet explorer a message appears saying a vital
component is missing but no name is given.I can still
access the net but I cannot update windows?!?!

Make sure to use Internet Explorer to access the Windows Update site.

Disable the options "Automatically detect settings" and "Use automatic configuration script."
To do this:
1. Open Internet Explorer.
2. Click "Tools," and then click "Internet Options."
3. Click "Connections," and then click "LAN Settings."
4. Make sure the check boxes for "Automatically detect settings" and "Use automatic configuration script" are not selected.
