Install err 0x800A138F log err 0x800A138F

After I click "Install Now", I get the error 0x800A138F,
and Windows Update fails. I then find the entry "Error
0x80070057: The parameter is incorrect" in the Windows
Update.log. The Windows Update Troubleshooter says this
can occur with NetOp or Lynx software, which require
registry format fixes. BUT I don't have either of these
software, so their registry entries don't exist.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

" Problem Description:
This problem occurs when you are trying to scan for updates. When
you scan the machine for updates, and then click on one of the
active links in the left pane, the installation process does not
complete.

Resolutions:
This behavior indicates that the scan process encountered an error
it could not recover from. You may be able to determine the specific
error by looking in the Windows Update.log file, located in the
Windows folder on Windows XP, Windows 98, and Windows Millennium
Edition. The folder is located in the Winnt folder on Windows 2000.

Temporarily disabling antivirus and firewall programs while you use
Windows Update may solve this problem. Be sure to enable them again
when you complete the update process.

You might also be able to resolve this issue by deleting all of the
content in Program Files\Windowsupdate and Program
Files\Windowsupdate\V4 except for the iuhist.xml file located in
Program Files\Windowsupdate\V4. "

Thanks, but this is part of the same resolution I was
referring to from the Microsoft Knowledge Base, and which
I've tried.

Could there be something else out there or that I am
missing? Thanks again!

MVP,

I'm sorry to say, but I can't find the mentioned thread (Juergen's thread), but my problem is the same. Can you help me where can I find it? Thanks in advance.

(I searched it by title, by author, but nothing)
