Installation fees and can not download updates, 0x8024400A error

New installation on a laptop Gateway... Service Pack 2 for Windows XP (Media Center Edition)...

Have not installed anything besids the operating system.    I am able to browse the internet even if the default browser would be planted several times and then finally to allow access...  Try to download updates from Windows using IE and Firefox...  Use of IE, it describes the options for express or custom then less than a minute returns an eror:

[Error number: 0x8024400A]
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 self-help options:

In the event log, I see the 8 and 16 event id...  I connect via a wireless connection... also tried to use a wired connection.  Do not use any proxy Server, no proxy settings are in the browser.  Also checked at the command prompt.

Again, this is a new installation of Windows, and no other software has been added yet, so I can't blame a third party software application.

Version Internet explore is 8,00.  I was able to download from Firefox, but that's all...

any suggestions?

SP2? Which makes life easier. :-)

Preliminary work:

Download the installation files of SP3, IE8 and Microsoft Security Essentials, which is an effective antivirus/antimalware program. I prefer to keep these (and other useful files) on a USB key, but this is optional. Here are the links to all the installation of three files:

http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=24 (for SP3)

(You can TOTALLY ignore the message "intended for it professionals"!)

http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=43 (for IE8)

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/products/security-essentials (for MMS)

1. physically disconnect from the Internet. Also unplug all unnecessary devices!

2. temporarily disable the automatic updates. To do this:

Start | Control Panel (switch to Classic view if not already selected). Automatic updates

Select "Turn off automatic updates" and click OK.

3. install the SP3. Restart TWICE.

4. switch to IE8. Restart TWICE. (Note: it is important to let IE at the level before the upgrade to SP3 IE6.) After you are in SP3, then you can switch IE6 to IE8).

5 install MSE.

(What happens very often is that someone has their software antivirus running as they try to install SP3, which often translates into chaos! "This is why it must be done after installing SP3 and IE).

6. make sure that firewall Windows is activated (it should already be):

Start | Control Panel | Security Center

(Now you can physically reconnect to the Internet. Update Antivirus program.)

7. visit Windows Update to download and install only the critical security updates. Restart each time you are prompted.

8. reactivate the automatic updates.

    I recently bought 13 elements for Mac OS and can not download N - OS and can not download files NEF RAW taken on my Nikon d5500 has been added. The model is not among those supported by the elements, but the D5300 is, which is almost identical. Is there a quick fix?

    What is N - OS?

    For the problem of camera raw, every new device has its own raw format, and ACR must be updated to include the latter. Happened yet for the d5500 has been added, so you'll just have to use the Nikon software until Adobe gets the info and releases an updated version of ACR. It is not uncommon to be in your situation, if you buy a camera model that was only a month. You just wait a bit.

    I have a late 2009 iMac. When I tried to upgrade to El Capitan. He said that the CHIP shows the h/d is a failure and can not be updated. I have install an external withEl of h/d Cap but it is very slow. the h/d is USB 3 but the iMac's USB 2. the h/d is only 5400 RPM. a 7200 RPM 7 / would accelerate the iMac?

    No, because the limiting factor is the computer is USB 2.0, which is how it connects any external drive apart the external drive. As USB 2.0 is much slower, there is no real advantage to a 7200 RPM drive. What you need is a Firewire enclosure that supports FW800 which is much faster than USB 2.0.
