i have a problem, every time i want to use the automatic update function of
windows XP, i get an error code 80004005. i got to

and then i can choose if i want a fast search or a user defined search.

i choose fast search and then i get an error message.

cant be displayed. error code 0x80004005.

so what can i do now please?

Have you tried the manual Windows Update? I had a problem with the automatic
and got more information when I tried the manual version using the browser.
