What do I have to do to rename "Automatic Updates"? This is cited as a partial solution to Error 0 X 80248011. I cannot install Windows Updates. I can find Automatic Updates but do not know how to rename it. It asks to rename it C:WindowsSoftwareDistribution but I cannot. I have used Microsoft Fix It and tried a lot of other offered solutions but none are successful. Maybe this renaming is the answer. I am running XP Media Center and have Service Pack 3. I have started the Background Intelligence Transfer Service, have installed Windows Update Agent in an endeavour to sort this dilemma, also cleared theInternet Explorer Cache. I cannot reinstall XP as I do not have …

Microsoft’s Photosynth team [url=http://www.windowsphonemetro.com/2011/06/29/microsofts-photosynth-app-coming-soon-to-windows-phone/" target="_blank">has been promising their app for Windows Phone since before the Mango update, so it’s long past time that we’ve heard news about the app finally coming to the platform (Photosynth has been on iOS for over a year).

Hi everyone, We are in the process of getting our Enterprise Agreement sorted out via our parent company and Microsoft but until then we don't have access to software covered by an EA. Despite that, we want to get started on building a new SOE. My question is, can I install an MSDN version of Windows/Office (obviously using an MSDN license key) but then convert that to an enterprise licensed version later when our KMS is online? If not, I will have to wait until the licensing is sorted out and I have access to copies of Enterprise software. Thanks. View the thread
