Hi Derrick,

I have the same problem and did not even attempt to install SP2. I just went
to the WU site to check for new updates. The site has changed so of course
there was an update for the Update site. I agreed to the install and recieved
the same error code. Now I am reading about all of us in the same boat and
referneces to a KB article (that I also tried) that does not solve the
problem. As far as I can tell, the fact is at this point now one knows! Two
weeks ago there was no problem. I went to the WU site and had no problems.
And now we should all spend our time trying to figure out what MS has done...
Great... like we have nothing better to do with our lives. Please.....

I think I may be best off waiting about 3 months and then checking back.

Sorry I am of no help other than sympathetic....

I wish you all the best..........
