I've been reading through the INTERNET trying to find a solution to this problem - "Could not start the Automatic Updates service on Local Computer. Error 1058: The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or has no enabled devices associated with it." I'm running Windows XP Professional with SP2 - I had SP3 when this started and removed it. I've been all over the web and tried all the re-start solutions I could find. I am at my witt's end. Please help.

Maybe.

I would: run the system file checker http://ask-leo.com/what_is_the_system_file_checker_and_how_do_i_run_it.html, get and run an up-to-date anti virus package http://ask-leo.com/viruses_how_do_i_keep_myself_safe_from_viruses.html, and get an additional anti-spyware program and run that too http://ask-leo.com/spyware_how_do_i_remove_and_avoid_spyware.html

My question is simply this. When I scan Windows XP (home edition) with Spybot SSD, I get a report indicating that a threat "Windows Security Center.AntiVirusDisableNotify" has been detected and fixed. Would this problem prevent me from getting the most recent Windows updates?
When trying to get updates I always get zero found .
Thank you,
Ted ...

That video requires Macromedia Flash in order to be viewed, and it sounds like you have things set to automatically isntall without prompting. It simply means you should now be able to view the video.

Hello Leo Nootenboom,

I have clicked the Windows Update notification in Lockergnome's NewsLetter.
A fast running menu showed up and a bar was filled up.
Should this program be downloaded and used in stead of WINDOWS UPDATE ?
Have things been changed in my WIN98SE after
I ran the program from Lockergnome ?
I have seen the word SETTING passing by, however
within the second another menu appeared.

Where can I find more details about what to do ?

Best regards,
Adriaan Ruiter
