error 8007f8F

Windows Update doesn't work because of error 80072F8F and tells me to solve
this problem by adjusting the PC-time.
But this feature doesn't work properly either, the synchronisation of the
Internet Time is not working.
I can't download ANY update, nor for Windows or the virusscanners.
I re-installed Windows Vista Home Premium on this desktop and everything has
been working fine for 3 weeks, all available updates were installed without
any problem.
Can anyone give me an advice to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance,
HanLee

Please state your full Windows version (e.g., Vista SP1; Vista SP2 Beta)
when posting to this newsgroup.

And if you adjust the time, date, and time zone manually...?

cf. Windows Update error 80072f8f
http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Win...412341033.mspx

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your
subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)?
What third-party firewall (if any)?

Has a Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on the machine (e.g.,
a free-trial version preinstalled on the machine when you bought it...and
which may have been reinstalled when you reinstalled Windows 3 weeks ago)?

There was a problem in the BIOS, after a correction the PC-time could be
synchronized and everything worked fine again.
Thank you all for your support.

I have same problem please help. Contacted Microsoft and they wanted the
manufacturer to sort it out or they would for £46. If they know of the
problem why cant they issue a security patch as I think this is all due to a
conflict with IE8. Anybody got Bill Gates office e mail I would love to send
him a complaint e mail
