Guest Neil Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 I'va a problem with a PC running Win 2K Server. Windows is recently installed, but I can't run updates. Update page does software check but when I search for updates I get Error number: 0xC80003FB. Any suggestions please. Thanks
Guest TaurArian [MS-MVP] Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 ERROR_NO_LOG_SPACE System could not allocate the required space in a registry log. Try and free up some space on the drive where the Operating System is installed and then try Windows Update again. This is what I would recommend for XP, I don't know about the equivalent in a Server - but it might give you a clue. If space is not the problem, then your file could be corrupted. Click Start, select Run, type in: services.msc then press enter Now look for the Automatic Updates Service, right click it and choose to stop Click Start, select Run, type in: %windir%\SoftwareDistribution then press enter Open the Datastore folder and delete its contents. NB: If in doubt, cut and paste the contents of the datastore folder to another location so that you can copy contents back if required. Click Start, select Run, type in: type services.msc then press enter Now look again for the Automatic Update Service and choose to start Try running the Updates again. No guarantees, also there's a possibility that you'll lose your history of WUs not important). -- ==================================== TaurArian [MS-MVP] 2005-2008 - Australia ==================================== How to make a good post: http://www.dts-l.org/goodpost.htm Defending your machine: http://defendingyourmachine2.blogspot.com/ http://taurarian.mvps.org/index.htm Emails will not be acknowledged - please post to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Guest Neil Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 Thanks for replying. Space is certainly not a problem with this HDD. Tried what you suggested, but still will not work?
