Re: wuauclt.exe problem and 0x800706BE error

WinXP Pro, Ver. 5.1.2600 SP2 Build 2600
Norton AntiVirus 360

FYI,
When wuauclt.exe error window appears, the wuauclt.exe pricess is running in
the task manager. If I disable automatic updates from local services, the
error continues to pop up and the wuauclt.exe still shows up in the processes
running window. If I disable automatic updates, shouldn't that keep the
wuauclt.exe process from starting?

Ahem. Yes, that's right. Apparently I wasn't having a good brain day
yesterday.

The command
worked and I was able to execute the file. I rebooted the machine, but
when it restarted I had to clear 35 wuauclt.exe problem windows to
continue. I also closed all programs and my AV software before
initializing the command.

Please post the last hundred or so lines from WindowsUpdate.log, which
you
can open by going to the Start Menu, selecting Run, typing
"WindowsUpdate.log" (without the quotes) and pressing OK.

At this point I'm inclined to think your machine is infected (or
otherwise
seriously stuffed up) but let's see if the log shows anything useful
before
jumping to conclusions.
