This is to fix the 80246005 problem
The Answer was easy for me. Just turn off your automiatic updates in services,
Then Disable it ,click ok, then go back and set it to automatic and start the
service. Then go to windows update and you should be able to download again.
This is what worked for me. I woulldn't delete files like they said on the
other posts.Unless I could restore them back (could be very dangerous) Also
you can't just install sp2 then remove it ,you are going to have problems,
regardless of what microsoft says. I have used microsoft $35 an incident
suport many times went I first got my computer, (now I build computers), Any
tuff problems, there answer always was redo the machine, they never fixed
sh-t . So save your $35, use there online support, don't delete anything
unless you know exactly what it is and what it does and don't believe
everything you read on the internet, Including posts. But some are helpful.
