Vista - Software Distribution Service 3.0

06-14-2008

Here is what I did and it was successful.

1. I turned off my virus protection (disconnect/disabled internet connection)
2. I rebooted my PC in Safe Mode (hold F8 while computer starts up)
3. I ran System Restore to a point PRIOR to the SDS 3.0.
When the computer came back on it was restored successfully. I connected to
the internet, restarted the Anti Virus AND TURNED OFF Automatic Updates.
I was back in business after that.
