When accessing the Update site, you receive the 0x8ddd0004 error

or

1. Make sure you are logged in as an Administrator (if you are not the
Administrator, then log in as an Administrator and try Windows Update again).

2. Make sure your firewall is not blocking the Update site and check any pop up
stopper programs.

3. Now check in IE tools\manage add-ons (Win XP SP2 only) making sure that
WuWebControlClass is enabled. (Select "Add-ons that have been used by Internet
Explorer" in the "Show:" drop down list)

4. You may also wish to check c:\windows\Downloaded Program Files to see if
anything is corrupted there.
