Guest Brian Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 Installed the official SP3 on a brand new Dell Inspiron Core 2 Duo 2.66 with 4 G RAM last night before installing any programs. It immediately stopped the Windows update site from working any further - any attempted installations failed, so I couldn't update Office etc after loading them. Did a system restore to remove SP3 and all was fine again. Any thoughts?
Guest Mark Dormer Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 Re: SP3 stops Microsoft update working Manually install Windows Update Agent 3.0. You can do this after you install SP3 and it will fix it. 1. Download the new Agent (but do not Run it yet) to your Desktop (so you can find it below) : X86 Version: http://download.windowsupdate.com/WindowsUpdate/redist/standalone/7.0.6000.381/WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe 2. Start, Run, CMD In the black box: net stop wuauserv "%userprofile%\Desktop\WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe" /wuforce (don't forget the quotation marks) net start wuauserv exit Thanks to Bill Castner for putting me onto it.

Guest Tim_S Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 RE: SP3 stops Microsoft update working Here is a fix for those who have issues updating after installing sp3 copy only the text between the ~~~~ (tilde) lines and paste to a new text file then rename it to FixMicrosoftScrewUP.bat ... after that double click the .bat file and let it run. After that completes, your Windows update will work properly again. hope this helps...

Guest Brian Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 RE: SP3 stops Microsoft update working Thanks for the suggestions guys. I haven't tried SP3 again yet but if the solutions don't work I will post again.
