Guest Jeff Posted August 18, 2007 Posted August 18, 2007 I have looked everywhere and still have yet to find a solution to my windows update problem. I am running windows xp pro sp2. I have reverted back to internet explorer 6.0. Since probably sometime in June or July I have been unable to get updates from Windows Update. Error Code:0x8007000B. This is OEM version of windows xp pro sp2. I believe maybe a digital signature is messed up or a windows update may have messed up, not sure? Please Help -- J Turner

Run chkdsk and defrag if appropriate. If that doesn't help - Renaming the SoftwareDistribution folder Click Start, Choose Run. In the Run box, type services.msc. Click OK. Right-click the Automatic Updates service. Click Stop. Stopping the service will take a moment. Rename the "SoftwareDistribution" folder: a. Click Start, click Run, type %systemroot%, and then click OK. b. Right-click the SoftwareDistribution folder, and then click Rename. c. Type SoftwareDistribution.old, and then press ENTER to rename this folder. Click Start. Choose Run. In the Run box, type services.msc. Click OK. Right-click the Automatic Updates service. Click Start. Starting the service will take a moment. The downside of this is you'll lose your history but that's 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.
