Windows Update problem on Windows Server 2003 Std.

Hi,
I'm having a problem with Windows Update on a Windows Server 2003 Standard
Edition: every time I try to access the Windows Update web site I get error
0x8007007E.
I Google'd this code and tried the many solutions provided by different
users but none of them worked.
Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Francesco

"Francesco",

I am sorry you are running into this issue. The error translates into
Windows Update not being able to find a module. Please try the following,
and post back the result:

Conventions:
- In these instructions, keys on the keyboard are wrapped, such as: <Enter>,
so an instruction of: Type: cmd <Enter> means type the three letters cmd and
then press <Enter>.
- Combinations such as <Ctrl>+<S> mean to hold the <Ctrl> while then
pressing the <S>.

1. Click Start
2. Click Run
3. Type: cmd <Enter>
4. At the top of the Command Prompt window, right-click on the blue bar, and
click Properties
5. Check the box "QuickEdit Mode". If this is already checked, click
Cancel. If not, click OK.
6. When asked, highlight the radio button: Modify shortcut that started this
window.
7. In the Command Prompt window again, type: sc sdshow wuauserv <Enter>
You should see a very long string, such as the example below:
8. Copy and paste the entire output by clicking and dragging to highlight,
then right-clicking. The highlight will disappear.
9. Reply to this post, and paste the output by pressing <Ctrl>+<V>. If this
does not work, repeat steps 8 and 9 again.

Example:
C:\WINNT>sc sdshow wuauserv

DA;;CCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRRC;;;SY)(A;;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLO CRSDRCWDWO;;;BA)(A;;CCLCSW
LOCRRC;;;AU)(A;;CCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRRC;;;PU)SAU;FA;C CDCLCS
WRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;WD)

Sincerely,

Pat Walters [MSFT]
