You remember that post? Forget the idea that it was due to a dvd player or anything like that. Saw it on another laptop tonight…
Someone told me to check a registry key to see if something was left behind in the pendingfilerename section…
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager
Bingo.
That’s what nailed me. Now to figure out what that offending creature is, remove it and see if this time the Win7 update will occur.

Who do you think does her tech support?
Microsoft has serious bugs in the update mechanism for Win 7 and Server 2008 in that things get corrupted way too easily. It’s scary and needs to be addressed by Microsoft ASAP.
