Hi Bob,
Try the steps from the following article:
"Error Code: 0x80004005” error message when you install Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306081
On the other hand there are two LOG files for Windows Update (one is
Automatic Updates log and the other Windows Update Log) that are in the
Windows folder on your system disk. They are called Windows Update.log (note
the space) and WindowsUpdate.log.
Regards,
Anton Pegan
