windows automatic updates is missing

Question
-
My automatic updates option is missing from windows security after I noticed it was not turned on. I tried to copy and paste the following command at the command prompt line as I read in other threads that it has resolved similar problems for others:
REGSVR32 %SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\WUAUENG.DLL
Another window popped up that said:
DllRegisterSwerver in C:\Windows\System32\WUAUENG.DLL failed.
Error code 0x80070005.
Now what? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks :)

Did you right click the icon for starting the command prompt and choose RunAs Administrator?--..--"Jstensaas" wrote in message news:06083abc-5a07-40e2-8f18-07c9b0e2fe3f...> My automatic updates option is missing from windows security after I> noticed it was not turned on.

You know, I did not have the administrator option, I assumed that was the same as "owner" which is what showed. It is our home computer.

Well, I got to the command prompt fine, but when I pasted "REGSVR32 %SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\WUAUENG.DLL", that's when the error occurred.
