Cannot use Windows Update (error number: 0x8024D001)
Hello
I just do a fresh install of Windows XP Pro 32-bit w/SP3 on a Dell Precision M90. I installed all the device drivers and then when I try to get the Windows Update I get the following error after that it checks the version of the update:
"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. »
"[Error number: 0x8024D001].
I tried to reinstall Windows, this has not solved the problem.
I also tried to install one of the versions of Windows Update, here:
http://download.windowsupdate.com/WindowsUpdate/redist/standalone/7.4.7600.226/WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe
.. who made no difference.
I also tried the Microsoft Fix It here:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/949104
.. who has not solved the problem.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Try the next Windows Update informal Agent. MS last isn't the last. Boo Ms.
Download WindowsUpdateAgent7.6.7600.256 - 257.zip to your desktop (MS does not have the latest version of Windows Update Agent. Only 7.4.7600.243 so make us with this). (The moderator Edit: or this, for those who are reluctant to download things on non-Microsoft Web sites.)
Unzip it, go to the folder and double-click RunMe - MakeInstallWindowsUpdateAgent.bat.
You will be left with the installer, WindowsUpdateAgent7.6.7600.256 - 257.exe. Keep or delete. Your choice.

HI BlackSparkle,
System Restore will probably not solve the problem at this stage. Unfortunately, you will need to get their hands on your system manufacturer and ask for a replacement disc from them.

Thank you-
Do not uninstall IE8 or IE7 before doing a repair installation leaves the two Internet Explorer and Windows in a "confused" or "broken" State - so your Windows Update (if any) problems.
I'm sorry to tell you that your only recourse now formats the hard drive & then by doing a new installation of Windows. [1]
