Re: Windows Update Error 80240016

When I run SFC /SCANNOW from the command prompt, logged in as an
administrator I get the following error message:

"You must be an administrator running a console session in order to use the
SFC utility".

I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I can't use it, or use it properly.
It seems that the file isn't downloading initially to do the update. It
only gets to 0% downloading the update when it fails. Hope this helps, and
if anyone has any othe ideas it would be appreciated.
