I get the same error. I found
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-18\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Polic ies\WindowsUpdate
DisableWindowsUpdateAccess REG_DWORD (1)
- and set it to 0 as suggested, however I still get the same error. I'm
running Win XP Pro, and am not on a corporate network.
The tail of my WindowsUpdateLog reads:
