    I am trying to repair a pc after a virus attack and ran into this windows update problem.

    Windows Update after checking for latest version, gives me the ERROR number 0x8ddd0018 , then tells me to run services.msc , select automatic startup and make sure that the service has started for "Automatic Updates, Background Intelligent Transfer service (BITS),& Event Log".

    BITS works.

    Automatic Updates gives me an error message saying "The specified service has been marked for deletion". It will not start or change.

    I don't find a service named "Event Log"

    Can any body help? :confused: :confused: :eek:

    I've tryed several ways to get the updater to work but no soap.

    can you tell me how to use the "repair" function on the installation disk?? :eek:

    Frist try the SFC instead of going to the repair function.

    Go to start.. run.. type CMD and hit enter.
    next type SFC /SCANNOW and hit enter. Follow the onscreen prompts. Hopefully this will repair whatever is corrupted.
