Re: Error message

:: This is the message I am getting when trying to download Windows
:: Updates: [Error number: 0x80072EFF Please assist.
Network problems are preventing connection to the Windows Update servers.
The Windows Update.log file may contain the following error messages:
Error 0x80072EFF
Error 0x80190193
This issue occurs if the server is busy.
Try later. If still a problem, post back advising what your OS and SP level
etc. The more info the better chance of getting a response.

I recently updated to IE8 and I hope that isn't the problem. Is there any other known reason for this other than the server being busy? I am running XP with SP3.

Many reasons why it would be failing
Otherwise post back with the detials of your OS and SP level etc.
Did it work before you installed IE8?

Yes, it did work before I went to IE8. I tried doing a system restore to a
point before installing IE8, but then it wouldn't even open up IE at all -
like it wasn't even there. I will try to go down thru the steps you
suggested to J and N and see if that helps me.
