A FIX A FIX for Windows Update SP2 RC2 not downloading

Well I posted before about my SP2 RC2 WU starting going
to 1.6MB and then failing, with an error code that was
not too helpful of x80242008 and x8024*** anyway I looked
in the Windowsupdate.log D:\windows and it revealed that
atapi.sys was "in use" and this was causing it to fail.
So I figured and reasoned that M$ in its wisdom would
simply replace ALL the files anyway in the "Update" so I
moved the file onto the desktop, just in case, lol, then
I went back to the WU site redid all the stuff to get the
file, and Violia it worked!! the DL lost the connection
about 5 times, I just refreshed the WU page, and it then
after, telling it to each time, the DL picked up from
where it left off. BTW the WU install is only 100MB odd.
So I am fixed got NO help from anyone really, so had to
figure out myself. took about 5.5 hours over a Dial up
connection with a DL speed of 5K. So I am happy SP2 works
great my PC is better faster Stable and Blocks all that
crap and spyware etc I love it Top Marks M$, Although ya
could be a bit more helpful with error codes and have a
data base of them??

 

Hi SilverDragon,

Sorry I missed you're previous post. Is it possible to have you send me the
WindowsUpdate.log file? I'd like to further investigate the failure.
