I've changed DisableWindowsUpdateAccess from 1 to 0 - and issue resolved.
Tnks a million.
p.s. My initial problem was caused I think by not being able to run
regedit. I was attempting to do all these things after logging in as
Administrator account - to no avail. Once I got regedit to work under MY
user login name, then I ran the regedit tool and changed appropriate key
value from 1 to 0 and it works fine. Also, I had to set the security
permissions on the key for my id - so all is well.
Again - thanks all for your help.
