Ron, there is a better way to ask a question -

We do not know what operating system you have, what is causing this particular error which
has also been associated with the *1058* error, or any releavnt information.
You can have a look at the following to see if any are relevant to your situation, if not,
perhaps you better study *how to ask a question*. Although I have several crystal balls,
they don't actually work long distance.
You may receive an error message that contains the "0x8DDD0018" code or the "0x80246008"
code when you try to download updates from the Microsoft Windows Update Web site or from
the Microsoft Update Web site

If your problem is partially related to the above but you receive a 1058 error -
System may be infected with malware "Vundo"

Service does not start and displays "Error 1058"

You cannot manually start the Automatic Updates service and you receive an "Error 1058"
error message on a computer that is running Windows XP or Windows XP Tablet PC Edition
