You might try this:

Dowload this cab and follow the below instructions:

http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/cab/...icode/iuctl.cab

1. Go to where the iuctl.cab file was downloaded. Right click the iuctl.cab file.

2. Click "Open".

3. Select all the files listed.

4. Right click on them and click "Extract."

5. Point to a known location (like the desktop) and click "OK."

6. Go to the location you selected and right click the iuctl.inf file.

5. Click "Install."

Use this address for Update V4

http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp

If that works, then remove the V5 folder from \Program Files\Windowsupdate\

If you still have problems, follow these steps and then reinstall V4 as shown above.

1) Delete Windows\system32\wuweb.dll

2) Go to Windows\Downloaded Program Files

3) Righ click on Update Class and select Remove

4) Reinstall Update V4

I used this one:

-Navigate to ure Windows\System32 folder.

-Remove or rename wuweb.dll.

-After that remove the V5 folder from \Program Files\Windowsupdate\

Than go to: http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp

and accept the installer again.

If you just rename the dll file u can switch between V4 and V5 by just renaming!!

This worked fine for me, so give it a try and share ure experience with us.

EDIT: @jrzycrim, 2 people, almost same thingy!

[jrzycrim]

I'm sure your method will work just as well. Nice tip about renaming wuweb.dll.

[BAM]

jrzycrim and myself should say: YW!

[WildKat]

works great, just deleted wuweb.dll, back to normal without a fuss

[jrzycrim]

It's really easy to go back to V4....

just go to v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com

and it puts your default back to V4 instead of V5
