    I have verified my software as genuine.  The AU doesn't work.  It will identify what updates I need and the optional ones but when I try to update it fails (100%).  I have asked what to do about this and got a detailed response which worked one time.  Now I just go thru with the AU so I know what DL's to get and then go to the download site, DL & save, and then install manually.  I take notice of the order in which the AU fails and install in the same order.  My current problem is that the AU says that I need "Windows Genuine Advantage Notification (KB905474)" and I can not find it in the downloads.

    Where can I find this update???

    I installed Explorer 7 Beta 2 and am just getting used to it.  I think I like the tabs and the thumnails view is kind of neat.  I have figured out most of the uses that I need and overall I think it is good.  Thanks.

    Just dont understand:

     

    A problem with registry key permissions may cause the installation of
    KB905474 to fail. 

    These permissions can be repaired using Registry Editor as follows:

    1.       Click Start, and then click Run
    2.       In the Open box, type regedit, and then click OK
    3.       Expand HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
    4.       Locate the subkey HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\LegitCheckControl.LegitCheck
    5.       Right-click the subkey and select Permissions….
    6.       Ensure that Administrators allowed Full Control permission
    7.       Repeat steps 3-6 for the subkey
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\LegitCheckControl.LegitCheck.1

    I have the same repeated failure, no matter what. I checked registry permissions and they were already Full Control.
