[Error number: 0x80072EFE] on 29Jul2009 after Microsoft Auto. Upda

To Whom It May Concern:
I just finished getting an automatic Update from MS (Windows XP O.S.) and I
went to the Microsoft web site to see if there were anymore updates and I
keep receiving the [Error number: 0x80072EFE], and the system times out
without seeing if there are any updates.
Can someone please help fix this issue and tell me why i am getting it.

problem on your knowledge base and Microsoft Discussion Groups.

Dan,

Was the system rebooted after the updates were auotmically installed ?

0x80072EFE ERROR_INTERNET_CONNECTION_ABORTED
may well indicate that the system needs a reboot prior to checking for
more updates. IF the system was already rebooted, see:

You may encounter temporary connection-related errors when you use
Windows Update or Microsoft Update to install updates
