What is the error?

 

[scarlet27]

From the Microsoft update website page:


Error number: 0x80070424]
The website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are trying to view. The options provided below might help you solve the problem.



I have a feeling it's related to my not being able to turn Automatic Updates ON

 

[Broni]

Click on Start -> Run
Paste the command listed below and click OK:
%SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\REGSVR32.EXE %SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\WUAUENG.DLL

Restart computer and try updates again.

Yep, that did it. My Auto Updates is now on and Windows/Microsoft Update worked.

Thanks very much for your help Broni.
