windows dvd maker says file is corrupted

When trying to add avi files and or other types of files to my movie maker I was getting windows dvd maker saying that the file is corrupted or wrong format. I basically reloaded a laptop and didn't try to use dvd maker in a few months. ok enough yapping. The fix is the codec's I've downloaded the below and then it worked.

Vista 32 bit codec pack - Install first

Vista 64 bit codec - Needs 32 bit installed first

For 64 bit version install both files. 32 bit first and then the 64 bit. Those that are just 32 bit just need the 32 bit version. I tried installing the second without the first and it didn't work. bahh

Windows Update wuweb_site.cab Unknown Publisher

I had a machine that kept giving me errors when trying to do windows updates. Would mention wuweb_site.cab?random_numbers Unknown Publisher. Windows has found a problem with this file.

To fix it I had to do the following: re-register the Softpub.dll, Wintrust.dll,
Initpki.dll, Dssenh.dll, Rsaenh.dll, Gpkcsp.dll, Sccbase.dll, Slbcsp.dll,
Mssip32.dll, and Cryptdlg.dll files. To do so, follow these steps:

1. Click Start then click Run.
2. In the Open box type cmd and then click OK.
3. At the command prompt type regsvr32 softpub.dll and then press ENTER.
4. Click OK when you receive the message that DllRegisterServer in
Softpub.dll succeeded.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 for the following files: Wintrust.dll,
Initpki.dll, Dssenh.dll, Rsaenh.dll, Gpkcsp.dll, Sccbase.dll, Slbcsp.dll,
Mssip32.dll, and Cryptdlg.dll.
6. Type exit and then press ENTER to quit Command Prompt.
7. Close all browser windows and try to do updates again.


Also browsing around the above seems to fix the 0x800B0001 error as well when doing updates.
