Reboot and let MSE update on it's own. Don't try to update via Windows Update.

>>I tried but it failed so I reinstalled and the update finally succeded.
I am going back to a yellow pad.

Hmmm, read here: Windows Update KB2310138 Error Code 80070666

They suggest uninstall then reinstall MSE to fix it.

I'll get the exact verbage right one of these days. I did uninstall, reboot then reinstall for it to work and update. I mistakenly thought that a reinstall meant that. R-Have you reached 30 days with the tweak reg back up yet to see if the old drop off?

I set mine to 10 days and it's working. I often end up with multiple backups for a single day since it creates one every time I boot, but that's okay. I currently have 20 backups but they only cover the last 10 days.

>>I think 10 is better than 30 so I'll reset mine. I have noticed it runs by logons not days too.
