Are we suppose to guess what operating system you use?

You may receive an error message that contains the "0x8DDD0018" code or the
"0x80246008" code when you try to download updates from the Microsoft
Windows Update Web site or from the Microsoft Update Web site

I am getting the same error code. I am running Windows XP. I have tried
all the suggestions to no avail also. The system won't let me enable
Automatic Updates. Anyone ahve any thoughts?

I have some thoughts:

1. Why haven't you started your own thread instead of hijacking someone
else's thread?

2. Does the error message "1058" mean anything?

3. Have you checked for viruses like Vundo & friends?
