same results. Running XP with SP2.

I am getting the same error and I cannot find any help on this error anywhere. I have run through all the troubleshooting steps that Microsoft suggests and nothing works. Anybody with any ideas?

I am getting the same error and Microsoft (MS) has not addressed this issue on their website. It looks like we all are being taken for a ride or MS themselves have not found a solution for this.

I think I found the solutoin courtesy of "Smart Computing" Magazine May 2006 issue. Type this from the command prompt:
proxycfg -d
net stop wuauserv
net start wuauserv
exit
Also disable any third party firewalls and virus protection.

Thanks Mike, I also came accoss a solution which was painful and time consuming but it now works. Unstall Service pact 2 for XP and re-install. It really worked.

I could not run proxycfg -d but doing the rest of this has seemed to work. Thank you for the info.
