RE: update won't download; 0xC80003FB error

0xC80003FB - This error means
ERROR_NO_LOG_SPACE
System could not allocate the required space in a registry log.

Try and free up some space on the drive where the Operating System is
installed and then try Windows Update again.

If space isn’t the problem, then check the Event Viewer, do you have
something like:-

Event Type: Error
Event Source: ESENT
Event Category: Database Page Cache
Event ID: 476
Date:
Time:
User:
Computer:
Description:
wuauclt (2508) The database page read from the file
"C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore\DataStore.edb" at offset 286720
(0x0000000000046000) for 4096 (0x00001000) bytes failed verification because
it contains no page data. The read operation will fail with error -1019
(0xfffffc05). If this condition persists then please restore the database
from a previous backup.

If so, then -

Click Start, select Run, type in: services.msc
then press enter
Now look for the Automatic Updates Service, right click it and choose to stop

Click Start, select Run, type in: %windir%\SoftwareDistribution
then press enter
Open the Datastore folder and delete its contents.

Click Start, select Run, type in: type services.msc
then press enter
Now look again for the Automatic Update Service and choose to start

Try running the Updates again.

If in doubt, cut and paste the contents of the datastore folder to another
location
so that you can copy contents back if required.

No guarantees.

I reinstalled windows 2000pro on my boyfriends computer a few days ago, and
I'm trying to update windows. When I click on the express install button I
get an error 0xC80003FB and "The website has encountered a problem and cannot
display the page you are trying to view. " I have scanned for viruses,
spyware, scandisk, all that jazz and there is nothing wrong in that area. I
also tried a fix that I found by doing a search for the error number, and it
didn't work for me. The fix was this: I stopped Automatic Updates Service,
then deleted what was in %windir%\SoftwareDistribution\datastore folder, then
started the updates service back up, then tried to update windows again. I am
not having any other problems with the computer on any front. Any ideas?
Thanks.
