Windows Update Error 0xC80003FB

Windows Update Custom Install fails with the following message:

Windows Update has encountered an error and cannot display the requested
page.

The error number is 0xC80003FB.

Can anyone tell me what this is?

Thanks, Mike

This is the only thing I found:

Hi,

This error means

ERROR_NO_LOG_SPACE
System could not allocate the required space in a registry log.

Try and free up some space on the drive where the Operating System is
installed and then try Windows Update again.

No change - I have 17+GB free on the drive. I tried uninstalling and
reinstalling IE with no change either. Any other ideas? I browsed around the
IE Support site because I have also been experiencing crashes of IE but
nothing I have found has been any help.

Just a thought, perhaps you have something interferring with Windows Update and IE as
you mention you are having problems with IE.

TaurArian:

Some more information from my Event Log (occurs whenever I run Windows
Update):

Event Type: Error
Event Source: ESENT
Event Category: Database Page Cache
Event ID: 476
Date: 5/21/2005
Time: 10:08:11 PM
User: N/A
Computer: XXXXXXXX
Description:
wuauclt (2508) The database page read from the file
"C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore\DataStore.edb" at offset 286720
(0x0000000000046000) for 4096 (0x00001000) bytes failed verification because
it contains no page data. The read operation will fail with error -1019
(0xfffffc05). If this condition persists then please restore the database
from a previous backup.

Thanks, Mike

Looks like your file is corrupted?

Click Start, select Run, type in: services.msc
then press enter
Now look for the Automatic Updates Service, right click it and choose to stop

Click Start, select Run, type in: %windir%\SoftwareDistribution
then press enter
Open the Datastore folder and delete its contents.

Click Start, select Run, type in: type services.msc
then press enter
Now look again for the Automatic Update Service and choose to start

Try running the Updates again.

If in doubt, cut and paste the contents of the datastore folder to another location
so that you can copy contents back if required.

No guarantees, also there's a possiblity that you'll lose your history of WUs (not
important).
