  Original title: [Error number: 0x8024400A]

  I, m trying to install updates, including service packs with windows updates and I get this: [error number: 0x8024400A]

  Hi, I had the same thing happen.  Had to redo Windows XP after virus infection nasty rootkit on my friend's computer.  Had disk of Windows XP SP2.   Even if the firewall was, no site Windows update antivirus installed and confident, I again became the error, even if I could browse other websites.

  It wasn't until I downloaded and installed Windows XP SP3, Windows Update has started to work manually.  Also, I downloaded and installed Internet Explorer 8, Windows Installer 4.5 and .NET Framework 2.0 SP2 before installing SP3 too, but I think that SP3 is sufficient.

• Windows Update, on new installation 0x8024400A error

  Did a clean install on my computer. Windows Update keeps on giving 0x8024400A error code. Tried to reinstall my new system... even get the same error with this message... "The website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are trying to view. "

  Thought that maybe... that the site of Microsoft might have some problems.

  I've done several installs clean over the years with this computer... never a problem until today.

  A lot of research for answers, but no luck. The program Fix - IT that microsoft offers do not work... says I need service pack 3. I have SP2 and am unable to upgrade to service pack 3 or anything else besides. No third party anti spyware or antivirus running my computer... date and time are correct. Running XP Home Edition on my laptop. There, someone has an idea what is happening. Thanks for any help... DG

  After a clean install on my computer... I found that Windows Update will not work correctly. I kept getting a0X8024400A error code... .along with this message... "The website has encountered a problem and can not display the page you are trying to show."

  I found the solution here...

  Agent utliliy hasa of Microsoft that corrects the Wups2.dll file. Download and run the Windows Update Agent that is correct for your system.

  Copied and pasted from the link above...

  CAUSE

  This problem occurs because the Wups2.dll file included in the latest version of Windows Update is not installed correctly.

  For scenario 1, the registry entries that correspond to the Wups2.dll file are missing after installing Windows XP repair. The final version of Windows XP does not contain the Windows Update software.

  For scenario 2, the registry entries that correspond to Windows Update are changed back to the Windows XP SP2 version if you do not restart the computer before you install Windows XP SP3. The registry entries for the Wups2.dll file are changed by pointing to the c:\windows\system32\wups.dll file that is included in the final version of Windows XP SP2.

  Well, you use an old laptop of 8 years with a 11 year old operating system - it takes a little go extra step to get things.

  I guess you all hardware from the manufacturer drivers so that everything works?  You can verify that you have the latest versions by visiting manually from the manufacturer web page, support and drivers section and go through at least the most important... chipset motherboard, video, audio, network, etc.

  After that...

  Have you installed the Service Packs again?

  Get SP2 (manually) and save it to your desktop. (There's a link here.) [You are a COMPUTER professional for now.]

  Install it.

  Then restart at least a couple of times for a few minutes between each restart.

  Get SP3 (manually) and save it to your desktop. (There's a link here.) [You are a COMPUTER professional for now.]

  Install it.

  Then restart at least a couple of times for a few minutes between each restart.

  Download at least Internet Explorer 7 (if it is not Internet Explorer 8).

  Install it.

  Reset.

  Now try to get updates.

  Frustration excels!... ""Error number: 0x8024400A "Message:

  The website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are trying to view. The options provided below may help you solve the problem.

  For two days I tried to get downloaded SP3. I did a clean install then and tried a second time, no chance even result. I did one installs own before without any problem of MS.

  I went through hoops to Microsoft a number of times, Windows Update, the 'Fixit' without success and tried SP3 downoads, one of 300 + MB, another 500 + and another of I believe was around 7 800 MB, not to mention the various links, but just seem to go along in a circle without solution. I tried to install SP3 several times, but after a while, the computer stops the download and I have to start over with the same results.

  I have read many of the [error number: 0x8024400A] comments on here but none of the suggestions seem to work for me so far. I don't know, it's maybe just me in my frustration after so many hours trying to get this "thing" to work and just to be led by steps or by hand at this stage... Just do a climb the walls!

  In desperation of cause and beyond frustration, I really hope someone can help out me of this mess is drowning. Thanks for your suggestions... Herb
