Hi Taurarian,
Thanks for the reply.
I tried all of the suggestions in the provieded links.
With the reg permissions there is full access for admin accounts and System,
there are other options available, Brett & Debby(User) being the main account
with admin rights and All users.
If I give full permission to either of these options I can no longer connect
to the update site.
As for the fix on the Doug Knox site it made a real mess and I had to restor
to an earlier date.
Something interesting though, I canot find a folder called WUtemp as
mentioned in the first link anyware on my computer and I'm guessing it is
needed.

With regard to the WUtemp folder - I don't think it is used anymore with SP2.
SP2 uses the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder.

Matti ...
I used a dial up connection for downloading PS2 with not problem. (It took
some 6 hours each time.) If you haven't already, I would suggest you go to
Microsoft Windows Updates and have all the upgrades downloaded that are
lacking including PS2.

Just a quick update.
I have not managed to get Update KB885836 to install no matter what I have
tried, but the latest two updates released by Microsoft downloaded and
installed without any problems.
I might just have to put up with this glitch untill I reformat next time,
unless it happens again, then I will have to bring the format on a bit sooner.

One last desperate attempt for 885836.

If it's downloaded it will be on the HD - under
C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download
Under this folder you find several folders with numbers and letters as their name.
for example:
C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\Download\9c33f79f1 ccc143cdb6301de7496f087\update

Check the branches.inf file and see if it is marked Read only. If you locate the
update on your HD and the branches.inf is Read Only - clear the Read Only.

You got me excited there for a bit but alas the read only box is not checked.
I would like to offer a big thank you for your attention and help trying to
fix this glitch.It's not worring me as much now as it was when it first
happened.
I keep my antivirus, firewall and spyware programs up to date and am fairly
dilligent with security on my computer so I should be alright without this
update.

Did it get far enough to create a log file for it?
Check for error messages in there.

Also use the TechNet Security Bulletin MS04-041 file manifest
to see what versions of those files you currently have.
Use MBSA as an alternative to this manual checking procedure.
