Cannot Run Windows Update erroe message 0x800A0007

Cannot run windows update, receive error message 0x800A0007. I have Windows
XP Home Edition Service Pack 2, Comcast internet, and McAfee Security. Help!

Possible solutions:-

1. Wrong date/time may cause this error. Check the correct Date and Time (including
year). Check your Time Zone by double clicking on the bottom of the right corner of
desktop and click Time Zone tab.

2. Also check the language set in Internet Explorer.

You Cannot View Updates on the Windows Update Site Using Secure Socket Layer

3. Make sure SSL 2.0 or SSL 3.0 is checked -
In Internet Explorer -
Tools > Internet Options > Advanced
Scroll down to the Security Settings.
Make sure that the two boxes are checked that say
"Enable SSL 2" and "Enable SSL 3".

The error would occur if IE is unable to redirect the Common Gateway Interface (CGI)
information from a non-SSL server to an SSL server.

Note if your computer is configured to use a proxy server (A proxy server acts as a
barrier between your internal network and the Internet), then check these settings:-

In Internet Explorer -
Tools > Internet Options > Connections tab
Click LAN Settings, click Advanced
Under Proxy Server, in the Secure box, type the appropriate proxy server address and
port.
Also under Tools > Internet Options > Advanced tab
Click to select the Use HTTP 1.1 and the Use HTTP 1.1 through proxy connections check
boxes.

4. If all the above is in order:-

Try registering the following:

Click Start, select Run and type (pressing enter after each one and wait for the
success message):

regsvr32 msxml.dll
regsvr32 msxml2.dll
regsvr32 msxml3.dll

Try Windows Update again.
