Receive error 80072F8F; but not clock or system files

I receive the error 80072F8F when I attempt to run Windows Update on Vista
machine. I have checked system date and time as well as BIOS date and time.
Also reregistered system files, but neither of these suggestions have solved
the problem. Clock is easy problem to check, but system files are more
difficult. I assume I reregistered properly. Any suggestions would be
appreciated.

Any suggestions?

Bumped again. Last attempt.

Try a search? E.g. press Alt-7. Then type: 0x80072F8F MVP
Then press Enter. Unfortunately you can't sort by by date (e.g. to get
the latest version of a reply) but with common problems like yours
which generate such large hit lists you can try to use the web interface's
filters. E.g. press Alt-i,Enter; then pick Answered Questions and hit Enter.
However, be aware that not all useful posts get voted on so you may find
some less common helpful answers without using the filters. If you find
some, perhaps you will vote on them so the next person won't have to do
as much searching?


Good luck
