Windows Update currently encounters Error number: 0x800B0003

Is it just me?

Coincidently, I just read that the beta MS Update site went live last night.

Hi CV27,

Give this a try and see if it solves the problem.........

Go to Start>Run and key in each of these commands, one at a time, clicking
on OK or hitting ENTER after each command and then clicking on OK in the
RegSvr32 dialogue box:

regsvr32 softpub.dll
regsvr32 mssip32.dll
regsvr32 initpki.dll
regsvr32 wintrust.dll

Now see if you can successfully use Windows Update site.

Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately, same error from Update.

The article I read about the beta was from an email from Paul Turrott. It
had a link to the supposedly Update beta site. I tried it and got the same
error as going through "Start / Programs / Windows Update". Just wondering
if hitting that link didn't affect my profile...

I'm not familiar enough with the internals of MS Windows Update although I
remember seing articles in the KB about resetting its "state": where should I
start looking?

You're welcome for the quick reply :-)

Unfortunately, I'm not sure what is meant by "resetting its state", so I
don't know where to tell you to begin looking.

A search of the KB site using 0x800B0003 resulted in just one article:
Detecting Digital Signing Issues in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=813442
The Resolution section contains some additional .dll files to the ones that
I posted in my previous response that you could register.........try that
and see if it resolves the problem.

Hi

And if that doesn't help, you could try this:

Go to
http://www.michna.com/kb/WxSP2.htm#C...Service_Pack_2

Look for fixdb.bat under "Error 0x800710D9 Unable to read from
or write to the database". Download and run it.

Please delete the following file

After doing this please try the site again.
