Still Not Fixed
Shane:
What the crap LOL
do a search in the reg for "policy" and check everything it finds and let me know if you find anything with windows update :wink:

The Face of Bo:
That was FUN! :sarcastic: Sorry, that was a LONG search. Nope, no luck at all.
Shane:
Very odd. Everything I look up on that error says it has to do with a policy. But you have none of those policies set!
I did find this
http://it.slashdot.org/story/12/06/05/1638228/flame-malware-hijacks-windows-update
This new malware hijacks the Windows update. But doesn't say anything about the error you get.
Here is something we can try. Create a new user account, just as a test. Then login with that new account and try Windows updates. Does it work?
If it does then it is something with your profile. If it still fails with a new account then it is something under the system as a whole. :wink:

:smiley: Wow. You da MAN!! Thank you, thank you!! I created a new profile, and Poof! Updates were installed. I will now restart the computer and see what happens.
So, when I restarted my laptop, it went straight to my profile. When I log off, then I can see the other profiles on this machine. Anywho, after my profile loaded up, the computer informed me that Windows was updated and happy. I still can't run updates on my profile, but it works on the new profile. "If it ain't broke. . ." My laptop is happy and right as rain.
Thank you so much, I will recommend your forum!! :cheesy:
Shane:
Glad that worked :-)
I wish we could have found out what was different in your profile so I could add it to the repair.
For now what you can do is create a new profile with a name of your choice and then transfer all your data from the old profile to the new. Then you can delete your old profile :wink:
