Re: Error number: 0x8DDD0018!!!

Hi!

I have the exact same problem with my win-update and I have used the methods
by the letter and nothing seems to work. It seem only to get worse. Is there
any chance that I can get some help? It`s been hours since I sleept and need
to work on the book. Thank you in advance
