Error 0xC800021F on W2K SP4 and IE 6.0.2800.1106IS

Hi all,

I am experiencing some problems running windows update, it always returns
error number: 0xC800021F. (I had been unable to find any description on this
error)

I tried registering all the DLL associates with windows update as suggested
on another post to no avail.

Does anyone know how to resolve this error?

Thanks in advance,
Arnaldo

Thanks TaurArian,

I tried all the suggestions from the links you provided, none of them help
me out; I guess my next step will be to wipe out W2K and reinstall everything
back

Thanks again,
Rock

Sorry nothing helped. Pity you have to wipe out W2K and reinstall - I know how that
feels.

Greetings Rock,

I'm encountering the same issue...
I investigated Malware: Negative
I did a repair (Win 2000 Pro): Same issue
I ninstalled the integrated NIC, rebooted, disabled the NIC in the BIOS,
Rebooted, Installed a USB NIC: Same issue
My next step will be to Ghost the HDD and reinstall WIN 2000....
There's a lot of data to migrate, so I'm not looking forward to do it....

Did you fresh started your workstation?

If so, did it resolve your issue?

Thank you,

Best of luck,

Claude

Greetings Again Rock,

I found a resolution to our common issue!

I read the POST:

Subject: Windows update hangs and gives error 0xC800021F - 8/11/2005 2:39
AM PST - By: Pat In: microsoft.public.windowsupdate

Which you'll find if you do a search on: 0xC800021F

Maily the solution proposed by fermu was:

Type this at the command prompt:
regsvr32 MSXML3.dll /s
net stop wuauserv
cd /d %windir%\SoftwareDistribution
rd /s /q DataStore
net start wuauserv
exit

The main difference I saw from other proposition that were directing us to
the SoftwareDistribution Folder, was to delete the Datastore directory...

I whish that it will resolve your issue as it did mind...

No fresh start needed for me!!!

Happy Thoughts!

Claude
