Error number: 0x8024400E Windows IE 7 error message

When I try to check windows xp pro updates on this machine I get a web page
error showing: Error number: 0x8024400E

Still waiting for MS to get back to me with a resolution. Any suggestions?

Hello Drydad,

0x8024400E -2145107954 SUS_E_PT_SOAP_SERVER The message was OK but server
couldn't process at the moment. Same message *may* succeed at a later time.

1.- Please try tomorrow

2.- If that doesn't help :-
Rename the SoftwareDistribution folder (it will be recreated next time you
visit WU again)
You will lose your history but that's not importªnt.

Click Start, Choose Run.
In the Run box, type services.msc.
Click OK.
Right-click the Automatic Updates service.
Click Stop.
Stopping the service will take a mºment.

Rename the "SoftwareDistribution" folder:
a. Click Start, click Run, type %systemroot%, and then click OK.
b. Right-click the SoftwareDistribution folder, and then click Rename.
c. Type SoftwareDistribution.old, and then press ENTER to rename this fºlder.

Click Start. Choose Run.
In the Run box, type services.msc.
Click OK.
Right-click the Automatic Updates service.
Click Start.
Starting the service will take a mºment.
