For error message 0x800c0008 please try the steps suggested in the

Windows Update Troubleshooter
http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/troubleshoot/
Jupiter Jones [MVP] site
http://www3.telus.net/dandemar/0x800c0008

This error may occur if you have enabled the following local security
setting (or the setting has been enabled as part of a domain Group Policy
setting):

System Cryptography: Use FIPS compliant Algorithms policy

1. In Control Panel, click "Administrative Tools", and then double-click
"Local Security Policy".
2. In "Local Security Settings", expand "Local Policies", and then click
"Security Options".
3. Under "Policy" in the right pane, double-click "System cryptography: Use
FIPS compliant algorithms for encryption, hashing, and signing", and then
click "Disabled".The change takes effect after the local security policy is
re-applied.
