Title: Windows Updated problem
Post by: Bacon on March 26, 2007, 22:31:27 PM

Hi all, been away today building/installing my new dual core system, i seem to have a problem with windows update:

It prompts me to upgrade the latest upgrade software, it downloads 100% and says ok, then directs to an error page with the following code-

0x8007041D

i check the error code and it refers to "nod32" needing an update, but i do not use nob, i use avg and i have tried disabling avg just in case but still get the same error, thus now i cannot update my xp os.

Please help

have a look in C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\Download\

Thats where updates get downloaded to, each goes in its own folder, hex name\update\update.exe

Try running them from there. I do that at work cos its the quickest was to install 30odd updates and WU normally breaks.
