PA Bear .. None of these solutions make any difference. When I try to
Register the Wups2.dll file in Windows it fails. When I download and
try
to
nstalll AgentWindows using /wuforce it returns an 0x8024d007 error. As
per
my previous post I have also tried Dial-A-Fix without success.
I suspect this is all related to the windows repair .. If you have any
other
suggestions, pls post .. thx.

Now that we know the full story...
Updates are not installed successfully from Windows Update, from
Microsoft
Update, or by using Automatic Updates after you repair a Windows XP
installation:

Thanks for the info.. I actually had to do a repair on my Windows
install
using "chkdsk /r" ... I wonder if it is the cause of the problem as I
wasn't having any problems before. I have run Counterspy v2 and
McAfee
and the pc is clean.

When all else fails, HijackThis v2.0.2
(

use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware
with
assistance from an expert. **Post your log to

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in
admitting
this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable
and
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA) computer repair shop.

Tried to fix a problem with Windows Update. Changed The WU files to
old,
and got the error on exiting. Still having a problem as wuaueng.dll
won't
register. Have tried dial-a-fix and reinstalling WU Agent and still

an 0x8024d007 error.
Not sure if the mspatcha.dll error is related or maybe the cause of
the
problem.
Any ideas would be welcomed.

Why were you in Safe Mode to begin with?

Anyone have any ideas what the problem is and how I could fix.
I'm running WIN XP Home on a Dell XPS Gen4. I had to run chkdsk
\r
a
few
weeks back to correct a problem.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
