Windows Update problem

[Chris Hunt]

Hi, I have a problem with windows update. The event browser in the
application log has the following error:

wuauclt (5484) Database recovery/restore failed with unexpected error -1216.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

wuauclt (5484) Database recovery failed with error -1216 because it
encountered references to a database,
'C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore\DataStore.edb', which is no
longer present. The database was not brought to a consistent state before it
was removed (or possibly moved or renamed). The database engine will not
permit recovery to complete for this instance until the missing database is
re-instated. If the database is truly no longer available and no longer
required, please contact PSS for further instructions regarding the steps
required in order to allow recovery to proceed without this database.

The system log has the following error which may or may not be related:

The server {F3A614DC-ABE0-11D2-A441-00C04F795683} did not register with DCOM
within the required timeout.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

The Windows update log contains the following below. Can anyone provide any
help?

thanks,


Chris Hunt

OK fixed the system log error, the application not registering with DCOM, a
problem with MSN Messenger in 6.1 that was fixed by 6.2. So now I am left
with the Windows update error. Anyone help?

thanks,

Chris
