Automatic Updates not working..

[Simian]

for some reason my Vista64-SP2 Laptop (in Sig) can't seem to check for updates!?...

I get an Error 80070424.. which says the Services needed to run the Automatic updates are dissabled or summut!...

On checking the services it says are not running, I find they are!?

Anyone else getting this error??...

Is there summut wron with Microsoft's update service, or has my Laptop gone a bit wonky?!..

Cheers
Sim
