Re: SP2 updates after SP3 install

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi Mow
Thank you for taking the time to read these links
That's what I thought - if YOU and other helpers in this group, cannot sort
the wheat from the chaff, what chance is there for the computer users such
as myself. None I fear. If I had the OPs problem, I would finish up going
round in ever decreasing circles and disappearing up my own 'rsea'.
After sending my post I went back into the web and this partic prob goes on
and on - I think it has produced more activity than WGA/WGAN did.
Update group is my favourite 'read' at the moment.
There is so much going on and much to learn.
Take care

Thanks for the links, antioch. Unfortunately, there is no one fix for the
svchost issue. For some, renaming SoftwareDistribution works.
For some, deleting all contents of SD works.
Others report disabling the AU service, visiting WU, and then starting the
service works.
Some say it's an issue with the processor ...
I've been trying to track it down using ProcessExplorer, but my laptop no
longer has the issue.

Stay tuned for any further developments ;)

And to further muddy the waters ... if one checks the registry of an XP
SP2 system at

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\Windows XP

there is an SP3 sub-folder under XP. All it means is that the updates
present in the SP3 folder will be included in the future release of
Service Pack 3 for XP.
When that will come out is anybody's guess ;)

Hello Mow
Re the OPs prob, I have two links below from my scvhost prob folder.
The first has a series of fixes, each with its own twist - I eventually
found it in a folder where I had put it in July.
The solutions seem very simple now having read some far more complicated
since, but the updated info on this site seems to show a great deal of
success, even up to present day.

A link from the above brought up this which seems to be for an ident.
prob. but far more complicated.
To my untrained brain, it is similar to suggestions already in this
group, but you would know better than I :-)
