Won't work since IE7 (0x8024001D)

I downloaded and installed IE7, and since then "Windows Update" will not even
load and "Microsoft Update" reports error code 0x8024001D.
Any ideas how to remedify this?

Rename the SoftwareDistribution folder

Click Start, Choose Run.
In the Run box, type services.msc.
Click OK.
Right-click the Automatic Updates service.
Click Stop.
Stopping the service will take a moment.

Rename the "SoftwareDistribution" folder:

a. Click Start, click Run, type %systemroot%, and then click OK.
b. Right-click the SoftwareDistribution folder, and then click Rename.
c. Type SoftwareDistribution.old, and then press ENTER to rename this folder.

Click Start. Choose Run.
In the Run box, type services.msc.
Click OK.
Right-click the Automatic Updates service.
Click Start.
Starting the service will take a moment.


You'll lose your history but not important. Try WU again.
Sometimes you have to reboot first.

Windows Update still won't work, but Microsoft Update does.
Thank you
