I have also been having problems with KB883939. The installation is
successful, with no apparent errors, but the log file always has the
"In Function Set VolatileFlag, line ######, RevOpenKeyEx failed with
error 0x2" error. If this was isolated to just one computer, I would
reformat and reinstall Windows 2000, but this is happening on quite a
few computers, and my customers are looking to me for some sort of
resolution. A search of the Microsoft web site has proven fruitless.
Has anyone not only encountered this particular problem, but also
resolved it?
Thanks.
