re: windows update not working Thursday, August 14, 2003 at 6:50 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by SAZ (6 messages posted) Okay, got another lead, let's see if this one works... From http://www.jsiinc.com/SUBM/tip6400/rh6448.htm Says that the both Catroot2 *AND* Catroot subdirs can be a problem. As before: net stop crytpsvc ren %systemroot%\system32\catroot2 oldcatroot2 ren %systemroot%\system32\catroot oldcatroot net start cryptsvc Re-install patch and/or service pack. I haven't tested this yet, but will along with Francis' suggestion to kill non-critical processes from the Task Manager when I get to the computer. PLEASE POST WHETHER FIX WORKS OR NOT!!
