Windows update error Code 8024402C

I keep getting this error for the dowload centre and have followed the
instructions on the help site to fix but still get the error. I have Vista
home premium and also cannot manually download updates as when I do it opens
a new page in internet explorer and the freezes and I have to use task
manager to close the page. I have even tried turning off my firewall and
still doesn't work. Any help would be appreciated!

Xposted to Windows Update as well.

Ann-Louse, if you are directly connected to the Internet or to a home
network -
Open Internet Explorer and click the Tools menu, select Internet Options,
click the Connections tab and now click LAN settings.

Under Automatic configuration, select the Automatically detect settings
check box, and then click OK.

Hi TaurArian,

I have tried doing this also and it still does nothing. I have even found
some other posts and went through the Microsoft Update Centre to try to get
SP1 for Vista, but I keep getting error 8DDD0023... I have looked at the
suggestions for this and none seem to fit as I am downloading directly to my
computer (not over a network), I have permissions and room on my computer for
the download... I have tried this over several days and still get the same
problem... Any ideas?

Thanks
Ann-Louise
