Thank you, but I think there is a deeper problem.
Each time I click on Windows Update I have a different error, and none of
them suits my situation.
The last one I have is: 'Code 8024D00E'
============================

===================
and again help cannot display it as shown above.
To add:
I have just installed Vista Ulitmate from CD and activated it.
I do not have any other software installed.
I need to check for updates and install them if any available.
What else can I do?
