Windows Update quit working.

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsme.general (More info?)

Forgot to mention that msscript.ocx is missing from my system. I don't
know if that file belongs in ME or not, or where it is supposed to go
(which folder). I have a standard installation on the C drive, so can
anybody else do a search for that file and tell me where it belongs? TIA
