I tried this "solution" It does not work for me at all!
I don't have Spybot and I did disable my AVG version 8.0.169 fully licensed
version.
I am using SP2 since SP3 suddenly (and completely out of the blue) made it
impossible to access my CD/DVD-ROM drives. ALL OF THEM!
I backed out SP3 and it DID NOT HELP the CD-ROM issue and introduced this
inability to update problem.
The update installer on the update website will not even install!
What the heck is going on??!!
