Also you could try the following to remove the current Update files in case they are corrupt. When removed and an update is done the files are redownloaded...

1. Click Start.

2. Choose Run.

3. In the Run box type net stop wuauserv and click OK.

4. Then again click on Start - Run.

5. In the Run box, type %windir% and then click OK.

6. This will open the Windows or Winnt folder or your system. Locate the folder named SoftwareDistribution

7. Right click on this folder and then select Rename. Type the new name as OLDSoftwareDistribution

8. Now close this window.

9. Again click on Start Run and type net start wuauserv and then press OK.

10. Restart your system.

11. Retry the Update

regards

Steve

I gave it a try typing in the correct word this time around. Still getting error 8024402C when I try to update.

As for copying windowsupdate.log, I can see....
