I just checked, mine is marked "Allow full access". Soooo, that does not
solve the 0X8007041D problem and I am also running win2k and McAfee.
Check in the Event Viewer to see if there is any specific errors regarding services
Start/Run/Eventvwr.msc
In my case it was wups.dll in
C:\WINDOWS\system32\SoftwareDistribution\Setup\ServiceStartup\wups.dll\5.8.0.2469
folder. After removing this file, windowsupdate works great.
Im pretty new to this forum, so Im really sorry if this has been answered before, I cant understand some of the answers!
My computer does do the updates, then I have to restart, it tries to install them, then it says it cant and it is reverting the changes! this can take up to a hour, and when you need your computer 1 hour can seem like a long time! The error code is 8007041D.
Further to what someone said in another thread, I went to event viewer and this says MMC Could not create the snap-in, the snap in might not have been installed properly. needless to say I have no idea what the snap in is!
