THE FIX FOR Error number: 0x8024402C

After combing the newsgroups for 2 days and trying everything mentioned but
to no avail, I decided to just HACK the damn issue myself and well I found
the fix.

If you are using w2k server and get that damn Error number: 0x8024402C when
using the new Microsoft Update do the following:

1) Navigate to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Int ernet
Settings
2) If you see a connections folder, look inside and there should be a
default key and a WinHttpSettings key.
3)Export the connections folder and delete it. (export it so you have a
backup of it)
4) You should now be able to go to Microsoft Update and scan without seeing
that damn Error number: 0x8024402C .

I forgot to mention that this fix is for people who are NOT using a proxy
server.
