Could someone please give me CONCRETE advice/help on fixing a "Software
Distribution Service 3.0" Problem. For several months now my computer has
been acting strange -- it's extremely slow to start up and slow to access the
internet. In fact, sometimes it just stalls and won't access the internet at
all. And practically everyday for the past few months something has been
automatically downloading and trying to install. Looking at my possible
restore points, I see that for the past two months there are many many
entries , sometimes several per day, for the same thing, "Software
Distribution Service 3.0", but nothing else. I tried to set my system back to
some of these earlier points, but the program won't let me. Next, I thought
Windows Defender might be the problem, so I removed it. No help. In my log
of reporting events I see lots and lots of entries for an attempted Windows
XP update (KB967715) starting on Feb 26th, almost everyday, and going right
up until I shut off the Windows automatic download feature the other day
(April 1). Is KB967715 my problem? What is it? And, most importantly, how
can I safely remedy this?
And, yes, I have genuine Windows. Also, for what it's worth, I'm in Japan.
Getting English-language help here is next to impossible. Plus, the Microsoft
website automatically takes me to the Japanese e-mail help page no matter
what. So I wrote to them in Japanese -- but no reply (yet).
