Wndows XP Update Failure Error 0x8024400D

I am Windows XP Home Edition & SP2 has been on for 3 months with no problems.
I am up to date with all updates except that over the last week or so I have
not been able to "Update" any more and receive Failure Error No. 0x8024400D

Please can anyone help me? If I search Microsoft for this error code it is
not recognised.

When searches on Microsoft fail you should search the web
or archived newsgroups. In fact, since you are using the web
interface to newsgroups you could just enter that code in its search
field to find my answer to a similar question in September:
