Cannot instal updates...

Hello... I am running windows xp home edition and when I go to the windows
update site and click on the 'get high priority updates' button, it says this:



[Error number: 0x800A01CE]

... I have farted around with some of my processes so this may be the
problem? I have RPC 's turned off , cuz I didn't think win update needed
that. I guess if you could tell me which processes it uses to turn back on?
Thank you,
