In attempting to update my system with the December 2005 security changes the
update fails and gives the following error code: 0x800a01CE. Can anyone
suggest a solution?

I did get the update to work, but I don't fully understand why. After
searching all of the error codes that were close to mine, I sensed that the
issue could be related to registering my Windows software ( I am using a
relatively new PC bought from Dell). I did that and the next time I booted up
Windows, I tried the update. Everthing ran normally.
