How about this one:

After an hour of trying to fix this problem I finally fixed it. Use this URL to access the windows update site:v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com . I'm not sure if it works with everyone but hopefully this will help you.

196427 2003-12-02 21:04:00 Thanks Susan, I found that page too but no luck.
Found a lot of other pages as well but still nothing.
Thanks though.

196428 2003-12-02 21:40:00 Fixed it guys, needed to remove English(NZ) and add English(US) in the languages under general options in IE. Seems strange that this stopped Windows update but it seems a few other people have had the same problem. Maybe B. G wants us all to learn how to type and speak English *properly*.

196429 2003-12-02 22:10:00 Try this https://V4.Windowsupdate.microsoft.com

Instead of the default http://V4.Windowsupdate.microsoft.com

It worked for me.

Really?! :O

I wonder how someone managed to figure out that one?? My one is English(NZ) and worked fine the last time I tried it. How strange.
