Windows8 update

<< < (2/2)

Shane:
Let me know if changing the dns server helps.

Also is it just certain updates that wont install or all of them?

@ Boggin.
Thx.  Will give it a try.

@ Shane.
Dont know. It gives the error code as soon as i try to download or search for updates.
Same problem with  adobe reader, no updates possible.
I think the whole problem started when my free trial for adobe pro expired.
I went to adobe website, registered for help but no help yet.
Am going around in circles.
If the Boggin method not works,  i want to try refresh.  What you think?

Thx
Jeff

Shane:
Refresh might be needed.

The windows updates isnt even able to look for updates, you get the error right away. That means that the winsxs folder or some other catalog files are corrupt on the system and when windows updates tries to read it, it just crashes. Which explains why none of the repairs are working, updates do work, but something else on the system isnt letting it do its job, which happens when a file it tries to read isnt the way it wants it.

Very possible that adobe could have messed with a file it shouldnt have. A refresh should rebuild all those files.
