Thanks martijn this worked for me very well. I did have Security Update for
MS XML Core 4.0 SP2 (KB936118) wanting to keep reloading after the fix but I
just uninstalled it and reinstalled it and everything is working fine now.
Thank you very much for your time and effort in solving this problem.

Thanks Martijn... it seems to be working for me.. how pathetic that people at
microsoft can't get it right for us.. do I now leave the settings as they
are, or do I return them to as they were before?
Thanks.. again..

Martijn you are a star.Did as you instructed with great success but did have
to turn of windows firewall to get the installation to work.For any of you
boys and girls that were having problems with Mcafee, updates now downloaded
and working again.
Thank you all.

go to windowsonecare.com try this instead of the virus protection you are
using but dont forget uninstall the virus protection you are using now its
a 90 day free trial but its better than not being able to update your windows
i also got a subscription its worth it

I am getting the same problem. I am also finding the same problem when i try
and Update vista using its utlity, (not Def by itself) Strangely i get the
same problem

here i a link

The soultion is Outdated !!!!!!!!!! but i tried to manually update Windows
defender however at the Windows Defender Page. IE7 told me the page could not
be displayed! after clicking the link on the page to download the latest
update. This is not right, how can the maunal update not worK! i think its
problem with the IE7 explore or with Mircrosoft !

i have also recived diffrent error codes like 8024402f

I have also read thorugh some vuage offline help articles which tells me to
enable
" Automatically Detect Setting under" the connections tab and "lan Settings"
in IE options (IE7)

please fix this problem soon and update all the support doucments regarding
this problem

hi i have followed what u just said i am glad to see the solution is working
for others, but when i checked the settings u said to make were alredy made.
here some additional info i found on the properties of the connection

"IPv6 Connectiity: limited"
"IPv4 Connectivity: Internet"

is it ment to be like this?

i wish u could post screen shots in the fourms!

 

Hiya Martij

Many THANKS you are a STAR. This worked for me and I have been trying for
over two week with different solution from different sites. Microsoft are
useless, all they are bothered about is making money, not helping customers.
If it's not too personal, what is your nationality? |I'd take you out for a
drink at the pub if you lived near. Once again thank you.
Regards
David

Guys,

Yes had the same error, tried all the updates as far as I could see. I also
had a problem connecting to the net via wireless, however LAN worked fine.
After talking with the ISP it appears windoz likes to put funny DNS names in
your TCP/IP settings. As someone else stated it could be related to windows
defender as I had updated that a while back and after a while it wouldn't
update automatically and I had to download the updates manually and install.

So the solution to the wireless was set the DNS to auto on TCP/IPv6 and for
update, same thing except for TCP/IPv4.

So, click on
Start/settings etwork connections
right click local area connection
click on properties
select internet protocol version 4
select properties
click on optain an IP address automatically
click on obtain DNS server addresses.

Windows update should now work

And low and behold defenders looking for updates again!

Hope that helps

Pete
