More 0x80246008

Hi, I have 12 PCs, XP and 2K, getting this error. I've tried 910337, but the
PCs in question all fail to start System Event Notification Service with
"Error 1083: The executable program that this service is configured to run in
does not implement the service. (0x8007043B)."

The listed regsvr32 commands did not solve the problem, as well as regsvr32
wuapi.dll, wups.dll, wuaueng.dll, wuaueng1.dll, wuweb.dll, jscript.dll,
wucltui.dll, msxml3.dll, softpub.dll, atl.dll.

A manual attempt at Windows Update has the same result. (I use WSUS
normally.) Virus scan reports no trojans.

Thanks

Have you checked the Services list? Is the System Event Notification
Service indeed stopped? What happens if you attempt to Start it manually
from the Services list? Is that service set to Automatic?

Are you seeing any other problems with logging in or out of networks or
computers with those 12 PC's?

Just as a total shot in the dark, it may be worth your time to install the
latest Service Pack (2 for XP, 4 for 2K). I'd suggest you pick one of the
twelve, isolate it from the others (assuming they are networked) and
re-install the SP. {If you get a "already done that" message then that's
OK.} Then attempt to access MU with that one system, working with it until
you can do a full session online with MU. Hopefully that will give you the
insights needed to fix the other 11. I know, not a very appealing idea,
but working with 12 systems all at one time involves too many variables for
a decent troubleshooting attempt.

Sky, thanks for your suggestions. I had done all that before posting the
question. As I had said originally, I use WSUS so all of my managed PCs are
automatically updated. Using WU manually still results in the "Unable to
download" error. One of the twelve erroring PCs happens to be one of my
bench test PCs, so I have it to work on.

I am having the same problem and a Windows 2000 server with SP4. COM+ would
not start but I have that fixed now. System Event Notification will not
start gives me the same message: "Error 1083: The executable program that
this service is configured to run in does not implement the service".

Nothing else comes to mind; you should post this in the WSUS newsgroup
(microsoft.public.windows.server.update_services) where the folks may have
more info on the error condition.
