Help! Still not working! Auto Update Hangs my System

Help! Still not working!
I ran the bat file below and installed Windows Update v3 /wuforce and
installed the patch 927891 and my system still hangs solid if the Auto Update
is set to "Automatic". System still only works when I have the Auto Update
disabled.

I did notice that while the bat file was running i saw the following text
come across the screen:
C:\>net stop wuauserv
The Automatic Update Service is not started.

More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3521.

C:\>ren C:\WINDOWS\system32\catroot2 catroot2.old
Access denied.

C:\>cd /d C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution

C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution>rd /s DataStore /Q
The system cannot find the file specified.

After that the bat file finished the remaining tasks and exited.

So what's next?

Thanks

1) Reboot and logon as a user with Administrative Privs...

How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

I have also tried this solution, but with no success. After running the bat
file, the Automatic Update Service still appeares on my system. And hangs it
as soon as I start windows up again. I then downladed the two links provided,
but nothing has changed (I have tried this procedure both in normal start-up
and in sfae mode). I still need to start in safe mode and then turn off
Automatic Update Service, in order to use my PC at all. I want to pull my
hair out.

Can any body suggest someting else?

Thank
Andre

Could you please confirm the version numbers and last-modification dates of:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\msi.dll
C:\WINDOWS\System32\wuaueng.dll

to confirm that the two relevant updates have properly installed.

I checked the files and here are the last mod dates on them:

C:\WINDOWS\System32\msi.dll - 18 Apr 2007
C:\WINDOWS\System32\wuaueng.dll - 16 Apr 2007

I did the update and patches just the other day, if these two flies where
suppose to be changed, it looks like they weren't.

The update and the patches said that they successfully installed, I guess
they didn't! What's next? Thanks....

Those are correct for the latest updates.

Try downloading and running Dial-a-Fix from
http://wiki.djlizard.net/Dial-a-fix

Use its options to fix Windows Installer, fix Windows Update, and all the
Registration Center options.
Then click "GO"

You can also try "Flush SoftwareDistribution" if the above does not fix it.
