Windows update has worked perfectly until recently. Newly imaged XP machine (old machine), SP3, 141 security patches, MSE (plus it updates still no problem), Genuine Advantage, all the optional patches, drivers etc - everything without a problem. Last
update applied was .NET 4.0 client profile.
Now when I go to Windows update, the site comes up, I can choose express or custom, the red blocks indicating status start whizzing along, but then instead of getting a list of patches, I get a page (within windows update) that says website encountered a
problem, error 0x8024402F.
I have tried MS Fixit, the online steps (including adding sites to trusted zone), switched off Microsoft Update back to Windows Update, nothing makes a difference.
