Hi,

Rename (or just delete) the SoftwareDistribution folder and
see if it helps.

You can use the procedure described here:

http://v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.co...cleid=21&ln=en

Note that a side effect of renaming or deleting the SoftwareDistribution
folder is that you lose your WU v5 History listing (not critical).

(later on, you can just delete the renamed SoftwareDistribution
folder)


If the above didn't work:

You receive an "Error 0x80072EE2" or "Initialization Error 0x80072F76"
error message when you try to use Windows Update

If you have Sygate firewall or something similar, this thread
may be relevant:

Update Site seemes pretty slow after this.
