Re: Error number: 0x8024D00C



Apparently this is a continuing problem...

I tried to rename using
ren %systemroot%\system32\catroot2 oldcatroot2
and it didn't find it...
tried
ren c:\windows\system32\catroot2 oldcatroot2
and got
Access Denied
tried shutting down Cryptocrap and it said
Not started
tried renaming thru explorer and gave me read only
changed readonly attribute to catroot2 and all subordinate folders/files
and is worked,
tried renaming again and got
Access Denied....

Very frustrating...
thanks in advance for any insigth to how to work around this...
