RE: Error 80072EFD
Richard
I have looked on microsoft web site and cannot find an answer to my problem.
I have done everthing it says to do for error 80072efd.
Microsoft says that I must go to dell computers to get help, they will not
help, have to be the one who installed the software. Dell wants to charge
over a 100 for one call and over 200 for others. One of Dells personnel said
that I did not need to get updates. wow.
This is rediculous that microsoft with all their money that they will not
help to fix the problem.

Translation: Cannot connect to the Internet server
There's a possibility that either a 3rd party firewall, anti-spyware
program, web accelerator, Internet security/antivirus program and/or a proxy
server is interfering with the Windows Update Services (SVCHOST) accessing
the Internet.
When accessing the Update site, you receive the 0x80072EE2 or 0x80072EFD
error.

You may encounter temporary connection-related errors when you use Windows
Update or Microsoft Update to install updates
