Unable to run windows update

When i try to download new updates from windows update, it would stop at 34%
and few minutes later it would give me error. the error # was 0x80070020. I
need to download service pack 2.

Are you quite sure that your PC is free of all spyware etc?

If you need service pack 2, download the install for IT professionals and
developers from the microsoft site. Boot into safe mode, and install it from
there.

Hi

Can you send %windir%\WindowsUpdate.log (one word)?

I am referring to the file WindowsUpdate.log in your Windows directory (such
as c:\windows).
