"invalid Server Or Proxy Settings" When Trying To Update

cj47

BD AV 2009,

XP Pro sp3: M$ firewall disabled,

DSL Router, firewall disabled,

Network tab setup ok,

Static IP address in NIC,

No proxies.

I receive this error every time I try to do a manual update:

"Invalid Server Or Proxy Settings"

Questions;

1. The process "xcommsvr.exe", unlike in 2008, is not showing running in Task Manager. is this normal?

2. The 'hosts' file attributes Read only and 'Hidden' gets unchecked. Is thius normal?

3. Are these the only processes that are suppose to be running 24/7; 'vsserv.exe', 'bdagent.exe', 'seccenter.exe' and 'linesrv.exe'?

4. Does "seccenter.exe" replace "xcommsrv.exe" in 2009 products?
