I can't do a Windows Update at all

The message I get is...

Windows Update has encountered an error and cannot display the requested
page. You may find the following resources helpful in resolving the problem:

For self-help options:
Windows Update Response Center
Windows Update Troubleshooter
Windows Update Newsgroups
For assisted support options:
Microsoft Online Assisted Support (no-cost for Windows Update issues)
0x80070424

Also, I can't change the Automatic Updates setting to On - hopefully someone
can help.

I have the CD Rom for Service Pack 2 and have installed it.

Thanks for your help!

Oh sorry - I posted before I read everything and I found a post that related
to my exact problem. Did what was suggested and it worked! Thanks so much and
sorry to everyone for posting!
