| | Windows Update error 800B0100 Last successful update was on 24/08/2007. Since then, I only get "Windows could not search for new updates" Error code 800B0100. I attempted to rename SoftwareDistribution, which fails with error "You need permission to perform that action". And Yes, I am an Administrator on this computer. I attempted to download and install new WindowsUpdateAgent30, which fails with error "Install is not needed since Windows Update Agent is already installed". I disabled antivirus, turned firewall off, started every not running service in Services - didn't help. This is Windows Vista Home Basic that came with my new notebook. -- boris12345 Posted via http://ms-os.com Forum to Usenet gateway |
