Appreciate any help as this is driving me mad. Wanted to tidy up my old pc so I reinstalled windows xp pro (legit copy). I have done this many times in the past cos of the kids clogging everything up. When I try WU I get an error 0x80072EFF which is something to do with a network problem.
After a while checking if your computer has the latest version of windows updating software, which tells me it uses activex etc. It goes to a page where it says the website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page. It then gives the error number 0x80072EFF.
The only difference this time from any other in reinstalling windows is I have created a partition on the drive.
Just thought shouldnt I have to click an activex ok thingy at the top of my page? Or am I thinking of something else?
