[Katmandu]

Everytime I run Windows Update and try to download SP2, I get the following
Error message on a PopUp.

BTW, I did run the Windows Update script from Doug Knox's site......

Hi

I see you have got the "Unable to read from or write to the database"
error.

I would think you need to delete/rename the .log files in
the folder %windir%\Security\ (and maybe %windir%\System32\CatRoot2\).

I have created a batch file that does this for you.

Look for fixdb.bat under "Error 0x800710D9 Unable to read from
or write to the database"

Thank you very much!

Happy Holidays to you and yours!
