Hi,
I have a similar problem and have done the following analysis. Both
WindowsUpadte in the Control Panel as well as Windows Defender claims to be
up-to-date, even though e.g. the Defender definitions file is from June 2006.
windowsupdate.log contains only one line (I just reinstalled from scratch
just to be sure, but I still get the same error)
2007-02-25 16:31:05:267 912 9e0 DtaStor FATAL: DS: 0x80248014: Failed to
find requested service
If I run the commands mentioned in this thread I get the following:
C:\Users\Mikael>sc qc wuauserv

Any help or thoughts is greatly appreciated. I'd hate to revert back to XP
due to this.

Check that you are opted in to Automatic Updates. Control Panel > System
and Maintenance > Windows Update, Turn automatic updating on or off.
Confirm that Automatic Update is enabled.
Have you tried a manual check for updates? You might want to look at the
WindowsUpdate.log in your Windows folder. That may give an indication of
any errors.

I installed a week ago Vista Ultimate & have been concerned that I'm still
