It's a different one. I don't get that same code anymore. Now it just says I
need to install SP3 or something.
Thanks for all your help.

Hi Tom,
Daave is a greate helper in the Ms newsgroups and what he told is a good
advice concerning the Hard drive space, which I didn't know about from you.
If you moved your Docs, Pictures and the data to the other Partition and made
a space then try the Dial a fix tool and install SP3 then IE7.
Does it give you the same Error message or different one?

nass,
I took your advice and deleted the subfolders in
C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution. I ran that .bat file you gave me. I
downloaded all the updates and they downloaded OK. I then attempted to
download SP2 again, and it STOPPED AGAIN 3/4 of the way through! How
frustrating!
I read that page you gave me on Dial-A-Fix. It seems like a potentially
risky tool that could really screw things up. The disclaimers went on for so
long, I just stopped reading. But then again, it also seemed like it had
great potential to solve my problem.
I was thinking now I should maybe take this other responders advice and
download SP3 instead?
What do you know about Dial-A-Fix. I just don't want to create more problems
by running that tool.

I have never installed Service Pack 2 because I always get an error 3/4 of

now. Now I'm having real browser problems and stuff.
Every time I have ever attempted to download SP2, the error message code is
Error Code: 0x80070080.
How do I rectify this?
I really want to upgrade my service pack.
Thanks.
Hi Tom,
Open a Run command and type in:
cmd.exe click [OK] on the command prompt type:
net stop wuauserv press Enter Key on your keyboard then type this command:
net stop bits
Type Exit to exit the command prompt.
Open Windows Explorer and locate this folder:
C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution = delete all subfolders in the right
pane/window.
Note if you can't see this directory try show hidden files and folders from
tools menu.
Run disk clean up and register these command. Try to copy an dpaste into a
Notepad and safe as updates.bat on your Desktop then double click it to
execute the batch file.
regsvr32 wuweb.dll
regsvr32 wuapi.dll
regsvr32 wuaueng1.dll
regsvr32 wuaueng.dll
regsvr32 wups2.dll
regsvr32 wups.dll
regsvr32 wucltui.dll
net start wuauserv
net start bits
Reboot your machine and try the updates. Does it help?
If still no joy try this tool:
Dial-a-fix
http://wiki.lunarsoft.net/wiki/Dial-a-fix
Note: make sure the machine malware/virus free and there is no Security
software interfering with the updates rendering it useless/damaged.
