RE: windows 2000 won't update

Typo correction:

"I remaned the "softwareDistribution" folder into regenerate
it. I stopped and restarted the "net stop WuAuServ". "

should be:

I renamed the "softwareDistribution" folder in order to regenerate
it. I stopped and restarted the "net stop WuAuServ".

Sorry,
Hal
