Hi everyone. Perhaps someone here can help me. I'm trying to do some windows updates. I get this error code Thread Tools Search this Thread 01-24-2011, 08:33 PM #1 l_morales83 Registered Member Join Date: Jan 2011 Posts: 7 OS: win XP Service Pack 2 Hi eve
positive, where most of the time was taken up by figuring out why the hell WindowsUpdate wouldn't run. It kept stopping the scan, with the error message 'Error http://wizardswhinings.blogspot.com/2008/11/how-to-fix-windows-update-error.html 0x8ddd0004' and some useless instructions for fixing it.Here are some possible solutions, if you do http://www.helpwithwindows.com/techfiles/winup-errors.html all of these it is guaranteed to work. After each step close all browsers and open WindowsUpdate to see if it worked yet.Make sure you have Administrator rightsPerhaps the simplest step of all. Go to Start > Control Panel > User Accounts and make sure the account you're currently logged in as is classified as 'Administrator'.Update FlashSince error number it's the easiest, try this first. I have no idea why, but this one worked for me. Head over to Adobe.com and click the 'Get Adobe Flash Player' link. If you don't use MSIE for this, make sure you close all browsers and all Flash-enabled programs before you run the manual installer.While you're there, upgrade to the latest Shockwave Player too by clicking the 'Get Adobe Shockwave Player' link or banner. error number 0x8ddd0004 Again, close all browsers if you use the manual installer.Re-register all WindowsUpdate DLLsFrom Virtual Dr.:Go to Start > Run and type each of the following, hit Enter, Enter again and repeat.regsvr32 JSCRIPT.DLLregsvr32 MSXML3.DLLregsvr32 ATL.DLLregsvr32 WUAPI.DLLregsvr32 WUAUENG.DLLregsvr32 WUAUENG1.DLLregsvr32 WUCLTUI.DLLregsvr32 WUPS.DLLregsvr32 WUWEB.DLLManually reinstall the WindowsUpdate agentTo reinstall the WindowsUpdate files, run this installer from Microsoft:http://download.windowsupdate.com/v6/windowsupdate/redist/standalone/WindowsUpdateAgent20-x86.exe (64-bit version here)Let WindowsUpdate reinstall the ActiveX componentI put this one last, because I have a feeling it resets much more than just the WindowsUpdate ActiveX component. Use with care.To do this, you first need to disable the two WindowsUpdate services. Go to Start > Run > services.msc. Select Automatic Updates and click the 'Stop' link. Select Background Intelligent Transfer service and click the 'Stop' link.Now open Explorer and open the Windows directory. Find the folder 'SoftwareDistribution' and rename it to something like 'SoftwareDistribution_old'.Go back to the Services window and start both services again.

By: Arie Slob If you're having problems accessing the Windows Update site, follow the instructions at this Microsoft Knowledge Base Article No. 193657. The least you should do before trying any other suggestions below is to follow the instructions in the Microsoft Knowledge Base Article No. 193657 and delete your History, Cookies and Downloaded Program Files. Windows Update Not Working after Internet Explorer 5 Upgrade If you upgraded to Internet Explorer 5, and get an error message: "You have an older version of Internet Explorer 5 and Internet Tools. If you would like to download additional components from the Windows Update catalog, you must first upgrade to the latest version." Check this page: Windows Update Not Working after Internet Explorer 5 Upgrade. You get the "Cannot Display Page" error On the "Cannot Display Page" it lists some solutions to this problem, but if Windows Update was working for you, and you didn't change your security settings, try the last suggestion, downloading the critical component installer and then retry entering the Windows Update site. If you choose Run this program from its current location, the installer will automatically install the critical components onto your system. If you choose Save this program to disk, you will be prompted for a directory to download the installer. When download is completed, double-click advpack.exe to install the critical components. Also consider adding http://*.conxion.com and http://*.microsoft.com to your Trusted sites zone under Internet Options > Security in Internet Explorer. Select View > Internet Options > Security > Custom Settings and select the following: ActiveX Controls and Plug-ins Script ActiveX controls market safe for Scripting Enable Run ActiveX controls and plugins Enable Download signed ActiveX controls Enable Download unsigned ActiveX controls Prompt Initialize and script ActiveX controls ......
