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

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).

Thanks for replying.

Space is certainly not a problem with this HDD.

Tried what you suggested, but still will not work?

 

Thanks
