WindowsUpdate_8024402C WindowsUpdate_dt000

I have followed all the things of windows help, but no result.
Still no update, and every time the same screen.
Please help, so i can download my updates.
Vista is already activaded!

I'm having the same problem as Ed. I've followed all the instructions on the Microsoft site, but I still can't get any updates.

Two quick questions:

- In addition to the steps listed on the Windows Help and How-To website
(http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/), did you also try the alternate steps
for the ISA server settings in this KB?
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=900936

- I'm not sure if the ISA server info is applicable to your situations, but
do either of these scenarios apply?

"If you receive Windows Update error 8024402C while checking for updates,
you might need to do one of the following:

.. If the computer is connected to a network at work, contact a network
administrator. You probably receive updates using Windows Server Update
Services (WSUS), a service that enables network administrators to deploy and
manage updates for all computers on a network. For more information about
WSUS, go to the Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) website
(http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserv...s/default.mspx)

.. If your computer is usually connected to a network at work (for example,
if you use a mobile PC but you are currently using it at home or at another
location), you probably receive updates using WSUS and can not receive
updates by connecting directly to the Internet or to another network, such
as a home network. To solve the problem, connect to the network at work and
try checking for updates again, or contact a network administrator."

Finally, it works!!
I have in a last effort i deinstalled windows vista and made a new clean
installation.
I did't update xp but i choose in the selection screen for a clean
installation and this worked for me, at last!!

I was afraid you'd say that. I have a similar problem.
but isn't reinstalling Vista like burning down the house for spring cleaning?

I have the same problem and same setup as Ed M. I'm not to keen on
reinstalling Vista and have tried all the tips from Microsoft

Have the same problem...
I've updated correct till SP1 installed :(

I had the same problem ''Code 8024402C'' until I figured out to shut the
windows firewall completely. Now I am downloading updates. Hope they will be
installed without any problem. For you guys have the same error code, try to
turn off the windows firewall before scanning new updates. Just do not forget
to turn on it again...
Logically windows firewall should allow windows update service by default. I
tried to make an exception of windows update on windows firewall but could
not find its .exe or whatever it is necessary to make an exception.

Windows Update error 8024402C
http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Win...504611033.mspx

this helped me

i had to open internet options in Internet Explorer (i think you can also do
this from control panel) and make sure that my LAN settings had only
"automatically detect settings" checked (not the other two below that).

then it worked. silly really.
