I am new to these discussions and I may be 'crazy' but here's my story (sorry
if it's a bit long but there's a connection here I'm sure).
I wanted to update IE6 to IE6 SP1 and started the update [I have Windows ME].
When I ran setup I was having problems installing.
The Microsoft Knowledge Base referenced an old CAB file that needed to be
removed (why oh why can't these things work first time) - so I removed the
file and the setup worked.
Since the upgrade I have been having trouble with my system restore not
working AND have not been able to connect to https (secure) sites (could not
do my online banking!!!!) AND got this 0x800C0005 error message for windows
updates AND (I feel) Microsoft Outlook (2000) my e-mail client has not been
working properly.
I think I have a fix for this problem (for me at least) as it would appear
that all these things now seem to work - I got this from a Knowledge Base
article about Windows ME system restore problems - but it seems to make
everything work .
There is a configuration file in the Windows directory called WININI.INI
(this is updated and date and time stamped each time I restart my computer)
and if you rename it winini.nin (or anything really) and click yes when
prompted - DO NOT RESTART YOUR COMPUTER but try everything again i.e.
connecting to https (secure) sites and try windows update - IT WORKS!!! (for
me at least). If this does not work just restart your computer.
I have to do this each time I restart my computer (what a nonsense but it
works).
I have e-mailed Microsoft with this to see if I can get a response [will let
you know]

Try it - let me know - hope it works - good luck!!!!
