Hello, late thread poster. LOL!
Hello! I'm working on a problem - Win Update & Win Defender Errors - with a new HD in my Win-7 Pro x64 machine, having tried upwards of 17 'fixes' and workarounds. Nothing responds. The other 2 machines are flawless, and this is my main box. I'm now at 15hrs from yesterday and today, and need to get away from it and clear my head.
