RE: Can not get updates

I had the same problems (update does not work with same error code; System
Restore has skripting error; Management Console not working properly,
Organize Favorites does no longer work). I tried out almost all advice listed
in the groups. NIL! What worked for me was:
Uninstall one of the updates of the last (October) Automated Windows Update:
KB896688. This probably leaves a lot of important fixes unfixed, but at
least i can work again properly. I challenge Microsoft to fix the update!
To uninstall go to the Contro Panel. Open 'Add or Remove Programs'. Check
'Show Updates'. Scroll the list to the entry 'Security Update for Windows XP
(KB896688)', click on it, click on 'Remove' and follow the instruction.
Reboot.
Maybe this helps some of you guys and I hope somebody trys to get the bug
out of the update.

Now a possible clue for Microsoft, if you want to try and solve the issue. I
habe not been able to update the 'Office 2003 Service Pack 2 (Enlisch
version)'. Maybe there is a connection?
