About three nights ago, I went to check for any new updates on the Windows Update site. After going through the scanning process, it showed me "Windows Update has encountered an error and cannot display the requested page" followed by links, then the error code 0x800A138F. Searching Google, I see that this error is usually in response to installing Service Pack 3 on Windows 2000 computers. I have been running SP4 for a couple of months, and never had this error. I've tried using "regsvr32 iuctl.dll /u" then deleting that file and iuengine.dll, but that didn't work either. Any ideas here? I have Win2K Professional, with IE 6 SP1. |

Try disabling your hosts file if you're running a modified one for certain purposes. I found that I had to unblock a248.e.akamai.net. |

Er...I know little about how Windows 2000 works -- I just use it because I like it and it has more stability than 95 (which I used previously), plus a few other nifty features. I'm not really sure what a hosts file is or how to disable it -- it's definitely not custom-made. :p |
