wuaueng.dll - Error in Event Viewer

[Volodymyra]

Hello,

I get in my event viewer suddenly the following error messages:

Source: ESENT
Event ID: 411
wuaueng.dll (1056) The version of the protocol and the version of the database do not fit together.

Someone knows what that means?

My system: Windows 2000 Prof with all patches and updates.

But until now these messages to appear without my system that I recently changed or new installations have been made.

Hi

Which version of file do you have and where is it?

On my system there are three times the file:

C:\WINNT\Service Pack Files \ i386 (5.4.3630.2554)
C:\WINNT\system32 (5.8.0.2469)
C:\WINNT\system32\dllcache (5.8.0.2469)

Have you updated latest patches ?

Hi,

Try this :

1. Verified it's auto updates.
   
2. Turned off such that it doesn't start at boot (system tray
3. shows X over automatic updates shield).
   
4. Go to Control Panel and turn AU on. SVCHOST task #920 CPU loop for about 2 minutes.

WindowsUpdate.log doesn't show anything I can understand.

Hello,

Try to run System File Checker.

System File Checker (sfc.exe) replaces damaged system files.

Load your XP CD in your CD drive.

Start | Run | Type or paste: sfc /scannow | Click OK

If you have XP Home and it asks for your XP Pro CD, see this KB article...

You may be prompted to insert a Windows XP Professional CD when you run the System File Checker tool in Windows XP Home Edition

If SFC.EXE did anything it will be in the Event Viewer.

Open the Event Viewer...
Start | Run | Type: eventvwr | Click OK |
Click System | Look at any Windows File Protection
