windows update error code : 0x80004005 after trying to install wmp

hi,
I tried to install windows media player 11 on my PC and it failed saying i
have to install the update rollup 2 for windows xp media center edition.

after the failed installation when i tried to get windows updates from the
site, it gave me the error code : 0x80004005 and did not take me to the
update page.

I wrote to microsoft support but i'm yet to receive a reply.

can someone please help me on this issue.

Hi;

First and best guess would be to use System Restore to roll the system back
before things went wrong.

Hopefully that will fix the problem.

If not, let us know. This error can indicate a problem with MS
authentication (among other things) so be sure to mention in your next post
if you have had problems in that area previously.
