Windows 98SE update problem

I think I am missing a lot of important update for my computer. I get error
number 0x80090305. It happens right when it starts to scan for updates. It is
behind a wireless router. Maybe the connection is not getting through. Google
didn't help and the microsoft support faq's didn't provide my error number.
Please help.

I checked through google and microsoft faq's. Google showed me only people
who have the same problem as me. Can I please have a solution?

I have Windows 98SE and I was having the exact same problem and then I went
to this website and followed the instructions step by step and now I am able
to run windows update and install the updates. I hope this helps.

The topic will say:

Getting errors with WindowsUpdate?

So you receive an installation error on every package downloaded from the
Windows Update website? If you experience installation errors while applying
the patches, e.g., something on the lines of "Windows Update Error
0x800A138F" or "To install items from Windows Update, you must be logged on
as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group", or "This system
cannot be patched", then following are some handy instructions to get around
the annoyance.

There are 16 steps to the solution. Even though the actual error number is
not listed on here this works for error 0x80090305.

Good Luck
