Error number: 0x800B0001 when running Windows Update

I cannot update my windows XP, the following message
appears

[Error number: 0x800B0001]
Windows Update has encountered an error and cannot
display the requested page.

I have already tryied the following suggestions with no
success,
Register the following files with these steps:
1. Click on Start, Run and type "REGSVR32 SOFTPUB.DLL"
(w/o the
quotes). You should see a popup message that this
process succeeded.
2. Click on Start, Run and type "REGSVR32 INITPKI.DLL"
(w/o the
quotes). You should see a popup message that this
process succeeded.
3. Click on Start, Run and type "REGSVR32 MSSIP32.DLL"
(w/o the
quotes). You should see a popup message that this
process succeeded.
4. Now try the Windows Update site and see if you get
the same
error."



Any suggestions, please???

Peter

Hi Peter,

I've got the same problem. Check out the code on google, where it gives you
all the instructions to rectify it.

I'm not really pc friendly, so will be letting someone else do it for me.

Good luck,

Chris.

Hi

For the 0x800B0001 error, you might want to take a look
here as well:

You may receive an error message when you search for available updates
on the Windows Update Web site
