Bother - I was hoping to see some sort of repair having taken place, but both logs are as before.

I'll have to think about this one...

Hi Noel, Any luck on this issue.

Sorry - I've been out sick most of the past 4 days... still catching up.
I'll refresh my memory and get back to you (Hopefully tonight)

Let's have a different look at the registry...

Please open Regedit
Navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing

and right-click on its entry - select Export
Change the Save as type entry to read 'Registry Hive Files (*.*)'
Name the file SVEXP
Save it - then close Regedit
compress the saved file, and upload the compressed file

I can't see anything wrong in that, either.
I'm confused here as to why/how the system is apparently attempting to use 8.3 format files as manifest files.

I'm out of ideas and I can only think that a repair install is the next step.


Follow the instructions in this tutorial - http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/3413-repair-install.html
- and they should help you get through it (it's not as difficult as it looks!)

There is no way that windows Update uses this amount of bandwidth on a regular basis - I should know as my normal bandwidth limit is 3GB/month, on a 3G dongle!
I would expect the normal usage to be around 1MB/day except when actively downloading updates.


Did you do the repair install I suggested? If not - why not?
