Help!! Error number: 0x80248014 (Originally was 0x8024001D)

Can somebody help me on this? Originally, the error number was 0x8024001D. I
did a search and found a solution which many had found to be helpful by
Torgeir Bakken (MVP) posted on 21/6/05. I did accordingly but this did not
work for my case. Another error (0x80248014) occurred and this time I can't
find any solution to it.

I would greatly appreciate it if any of you knows what this is all about and
how should I go about solving it.

Thanks in advance!

Can you provide more details? What OS, is it running a specific app
when this happens?

Try a search?

As usual the code doesn't mean much by itself.
We need some context, such as would be provided by the update's
install log.

If you have disabled some services based on someone's suggestion
or without understanding what they are used for that might account
for this symptom. To get a list of started services switch to a cmd
window and enter:

net start >servlst.txt
and
notepad servlst.txt

Thanks jschurbon and Robert Aldwinckle for helping!

To jschurbon: mine is running on Windows XP Professional. The error occured
when I tried to run an express (or custom) windows update.

To Robert Aldwinckle: context as in? I managed to get a list of started
services with what you taught me to do and what can I find out from there?
Sorry to sound so ignorant.

>> such as would be provided by the update's install log.

Note: you haven't even disclosed yet which update is giving
you this symptom so I can't really be more specific than that.
However, usually the update's install log will contain the update
number and have an extension of .log.

Either post that list so others can tell you if you are missing some
or look for other posts which describe problems being resolved
by starting (or repairing) missing services. Remember, we're just
guessing that a missing or broken service is likely to account for
the (vague) symptom description you are giving us.

I suspect something more specific to suggest could become apparent
from seeing more details from your update's install log.

Sorry for the late reply!
Amazingly, the windows update worked when I tried just now! Usually, it
won't proceed further after showing a green bar appearing to check for any
latest updates for my computer. However, it prompted me to download something
(sorry I did not note it down!) this time. I did and the update proceeded
smoothly after that.

Robert, THANKS A MILLION for taking your time to reply!
Sorry Dee, I know I'm not helping out much here. Hope that the update will
work for you soon!

Cheers,
down&out

Since I'm getting this error number now too - I managed to fix the most hated
0x8024402c- Error somehow by risking the safety of my system by deactivating
my firewall - I'd be happy to hear how I fix this new Error!

I'm running Windows2000 Professional.

I was able to get the running Services from the net start > list command you
mentioned.

the following services are running

AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic Service
AntiVir Scheduler
Automatic Updates
COM+
DHCP-Client
Service "Execute as"
DNS-Client
Printerqueue
Ereignisprotokoll
Protected Memory
BITS
Network-connections
Norton Unerase Protection
NVIDIA Display Driver Service
O&O Defrag
OracleOraHome817BASISAgent
OracleOraHome817BASISDataGatherer
OracleOraHome817BASISTNSListener
OracleServiceBASIS
Plug & Play
RAS-ConnectionManagement
RemoteProcedureCall (RPC)
Sicherheitskontenverwaltung
Speed Disk service
Systemereignisbenachrichtigung
Taskplaner
TCP/IP-NetBIOS-Hilfsprogramm
Telefonie
logical Volume Manager
Wechselmedien
Windows-Verwaltungsinstrumentation
Windows-Verwaltungsinstrumentations-Treibererweiterungen
Überwachung verteilter Verknüpfungen (Client)

well since I'm using a german Win2000 I tried to translate as much services
to their english names as I could, on the other hand I'm quite sure that the
remaining untranslated services have no influence on the above mentioned
error with windows update

I was able to install the following updates manually

InternetExplorer 6 SP1
Bits + Winhttp (KB 842773 - x86-DEU)
Windows2000 rollup (KB 891861-v2-x86-DEU)

I tried most of the mentioned stuff on my system.
- delete all chars from Proxy-Exception .. and so on
deleted at least 10 times the SoftwareDistribution-Folder in my Winnt-Dir
manually starting the services for update and so on.
nothing works!

So ... How can I get Windows / Microsoft Update to work again?

If you need other information about my system - please let me know!

I am also having the same problem. I started with the error 0x8024001D and
gratuated to this error.

I'm running Win 2000 Pro (new build)
I've disabled no services

When I accessed the Windows Update website, I started receiving error
0x8024001D. When I looked up this error code, I found the following possible
fix, which I tried.

The first problem went away and this new one arose...

So to answer your question: I'm guessing it has something to do with the
WuAuServ service

I too am facing the update error problem with error code 0x80248014. Please
help me.

I think they are having server problems as there are all kinds of error
reports being posted.
