krit86lr Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Don't do anything except what's instructed. I will tell you when to test the outcome. This will speed things up a bit. You repaired your permissions. Now reinstall SP4 like DjLizard suggested. The link is in DjLizard's post with instructions to reinstall in Safe Mode. Do that, and then I will post the next thing to do.

krit86lr Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 OK. I am downloading SP4. Big one. No kidding. I just downloaded it too, and it took a long time (2 minutes)! After installing it, reboot again into Safe Mode.

daniel.game Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 OK. I am downloading SP4. Big one. Could noty install SP4. It tells me that the language installed in my computer is different from the language of the update. Is there a place I can get the right one from ?

daniel.game Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 Use IE. I did. And I went thru that sometime ago. I keep getting a message saying that Windows Update Site is not completely loaded, and that if I want the site to be loaded, I should click on Cancel. When I do that, I get a screen saying that I should be logged on as an Administrator. If I follow their instructions, I use the Windows Update function from the Start Menu, and log on as Administrator, but nothing happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daniel.game Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 Maybe I gave you a bad link? Log on as Administrator > then click start > All Programs > Windows Update I already tried to log on as an Admin, following the process you described earlier, it did not work (ie I am not presented with the 2 options) However, as it is explained in the MS Update site, I should be able to run Windows Update as an Administrator directly from the start menu, all programs, right-click on Windows Update, execute as .. it does not work either. And it'll be it for today. It's quite late here. Thanks a lot again. I am really sure that I need either to live with my problems, or to re-install from scratch.

DjLizard Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Now use Dial-a-fix again, and see if the Windows Update section will run without errors. Also hit Flush SoftwareDistribution. If both run successfully, go to Windows Update. If WU still won't work, hit the green checkmark in DAF and wait for the entire suite of procedures to complete. Hopefully you won't get any errors. If all of the DAF stuff still errors, try it in Safe mode command prompt like before, but instead of going to Tools > Repair permissions, hit the green check and hit GO.

I hope krit86lr will also see this reply. Finally, everything works now. I fixed my initial problem (ie could not use the uninstall function from the Control Panel) following the instructions of this site [http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;329862&Product=win2000]. At the beginning it did not like my installation CD, but I insisted and it worked out well. Now my Control Panel works. I tried CCleaner, got an error message. I simply uninstall it and reinstalled it, and IT WORKS !!!!!! I'd like to thanks you guys for your dedication, time and help anyway. THANKS.

DjLizard Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 wtf, that's the most annoying knowledge base article I've ever seen. Nowhere in there does it say what the problem is ;_; "This issue may occur if a Windows system file is missing or corrupted." It doesn't even tell you which file it is A sad day for DAF, thanks to Microsoft (meaning: I can't add this fix because they won't say what it is!)
