Built a new pc. Now get Error Code: 80246002

Built a new PC and installed XP Pro. I was able to Get SP2 and all other
updates except: Nvidia Corporation - Sound - NVIDIA(R) nForce(TM) Audio Codec
Interface
NVIDIA Corporation multimedia software update released on October 22 2004.
The download fails with Error Code: 80246002.

Anybody know what that is and how to get the update?

Hi Morgan,

Try d/loading and installing the nForce driver updates directly from NVidia:
http://nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp

Hi Morgan/Patti

I've recently had the same problem with a Connexant fax/modem driver update
on a newly-purchased computer. There does not appear to be any information
on this error code on the Microsoft website.

Several weeks ago, I was updating an identical computer (a Compaq laptop)
for my daughter, and was able to download and install the fax/modem driver
update, but not the sound card driver update. This time, it's the other way
around.

Disabling Anti-virus, etc. seems to have no effect. Both computers had
WinXP Home SP2 pre-installed and I updated to all critical updates since
early Feb. 2005.

Like Patti, I ultimately downladed the driver directly (in my case, from the
Hp/Compaq website). However, it took 2-3 attempts to get it to install.
Don't know what the real issue was.

I would like to see more on this error, and what's really causing the
problem(s).

I get the same problem with the download from Windows Updates. It downloads
and then the installation fails. However, I just get the failed message and
no Error Code. I have trying now for a couple months and have done
everything I have seen in this newsgroup to try.

I have no problems with the drivers I got so won't bother going to NVidia's
web site. I just was trying to see why they won't install from Windows
Updates.
