| Hi, I followed instructions below but need to clarify a couple of things;
|
| 1. After typing net stop WuAuServ do I also type exit or press enter/close
| the window (please excuse my ignorance!).
|
| 2. Also, when I attempt to rename the folder to SDOLD I receive the
| following message "Cannot rename SoftwareDistribution: Access is denied.
Make
| sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not
| currently in use".
|
| Please help. I followed advice to overcome the 0x8024400A errror & then
| encountered this one.... aargh!!
