meaning of codes

can you tell me what code 80070424 means

Hi Tara,

Please post back with which version of Windows this is, plus which update item you were attempting to get.
And whether this is using the online Windows Update website, or Automatic Updates, or something else.

0x80070424 seems to be "Unable to establish connection to the service. "

I recommend you view this archived post by Harish at Microsoft.

It is essentially a series of entries so that you can re-register some DLL's.

Keep us posted here. HTH
