Windows (Vista Business) could not search for new updates. Code 80244019

I have installed Windows Vista Business Edition over XP with all
service packs and security patches installed. My computer is a Dell
OptiPlex GX280 with a P4 3 GHz processor and 2 GB of RAM. I have 53 GB
free on my hard drive.

Following the install I followed the Vista task list and attempted to
update the system. Each time I have received the following message:
Windows could not search for new updates. Code 80244019. I cannot
change from automatic to manual, nor can I find a reason for this
error. I posted to the Windows Vista community but have not received
an answer.

Has any one out there experienced the same error and did you find (or
hear of) a solution?

Thanks,

Tim Carroll

I tried this but it did not work. If someone has the answer to this please
help?

Mines a clean Vista Business install.

Thanks!
