Re: Error number: 0x80248008

[Guest Giulio]

I found this a start.

I still continued to get the error message after activating auto updates.

The problem was that i was installing from an original XP Pro install CD.

I needed to also install the Windows Genuine Advantage plugin.

Once that was installed Windows Update managed to complete it's checks.
