Again unable ukpdate

[Guest]

Two weeks of install and reinstall Defender beta 2 but every check for
updates get the same old error: 0x80240022 "Unable to complete update." Wrong
disk in drive.
Insert %2 (Vol sernial number %3) into drive %1

Dell XPS Gen4 Win XP Pro

Any ideas?..

I plan to completely remove This beta 2 and not try it any more and
continue to use Spysweeper,AdaWare and Spybot which have given no probelms
at all.

Well now, guess I'll keep the darn thing as I got it all fixed and working
just like uptown

Have you tried this:
(From Steve Dodson, in response to a similar query)


1) Uninstall WD thru Add and Remove Programs

2) Launch cmd prompt

3) MsiExec.exe /x {A5CC2A09-E9D3-49EC-923D-03874BBD4C2C}

4) Delete all contents of Directory of C:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Definition Updates

5) Reinstall WD

Let me know if that works for you.

Many thanks Steve but I have it working now and it seems the problem was
Spysweeper blocking the net connection.
Idisabled Sweeper and Defenter installed and updated with no sweat.
Thanks again ..I saved your info just in case.
