Do you get some kind of error message when you try to enable it?

 

[bluzeboy]

no it just won't enable.

Not sure where you are saying it will not enable.

Make sure the auto update service is running and is not disabled.

Type this in the run box - services.msc

Then find the Automatic Updates service and make sure it is enabled with startup type set to automatic.

Also make sure the scheduled tasks service is running as well.

Automatic live Updates from the main menu will not enable when i click on it enable it, nothing ,everything else enables but not auto updates ,i just recently re-installed hopeing it would help ,but no luck,i double checked all symantec componetes are set to auto.
tasks are set to auto.

Oh ok...so you're referring to Norton's LiveUpdate service rather than Windows Automatic Update.
Are you sure your subscription hasn't expired? It usually lasts for a year, after which you need to renew it.

it says my renewal date is 03/02/2006.my windows update is working.

You could always try re-installing just Live update as it will automatically uninstall other before updating.

Lite version for home users

Full version for enterprise but home users can use too or you can browse for what you want.
