Same as HTTP status 404 – the server cannot find the requested URI (Uniform
Resource Identifier).

It means there is a problem contacting the server. Try again later.

You cannot download updates when you access the Windows Update Web site from
a Windows XP-based computer that is behind a firewall or a proxy server

"I ran proxycfg and it showed I was still setup for a proxy - even though in
IE it showed I wasn't using one.
Running "proxycfg -d" fixed it all up."

Another user reported that clearing all cookies and temporary internet files
solved his problem and he was then able to install the update.

Please let us know if the problem remains
