    No i didnt help, i looked into it further and got an error #, looked it up, but if you notice under 'applicable operating system' it says 'windows server 2003', should i follow the directions? this was what i got:

    When Downloading or installing from the Update Site, you may receive error 0x8007F0DA Last updated : 06/23/2005 Print | Close



    Problem description
    When downloading software updates you may receive error 0x8007F0DA "Unable to verify the integrity of update.inf file." This may be due to a corruption within the Security database or because the Cryptographic service is not running properly on the system.


    Applicable operating systems


    Windows Server 2003



    Resolutions
    1. Rename the folder CatRoot2.
    Open Windows Explorer, type "%Windir%\System32" (without quotation marks) in the Address box, then press Enter.
    In the System32 folder that opens, find the sub-folder named CatRoot2, right-click it and then select Rename.
    Type "BadCatroot2" (without the quotation marks) then press Enter to rename the folder to BadCatroot2.
    Quit Windows Explorer. Restart the computer and test the issue again.

    If you get that error then it is worth trying, yes.

    Incidentally, i looked for this folder, and i have a catroot, and a catroot2 folder. they seem to have the same 2 file folders in them, the catroot2 folder has a few additional files in it that are all text docs, except one says 'edb.chk' listed as recoverd file fragments.

    well, it says i cannot rename it, it is being used by another person or program, no one else is logged on, and i cant find what would be using it...
    is this a windows issue i should go elsewhere to find the fix? im not sure if im overstepping my boundaries continuing to post here.
