I am having a problem accessing the Windows Update Centre, I can get as far
as choosing Express Install or Custom Install, but when I click on either of
these after a few moments it comes up with
Windows Update has encountered an error and cannot display the requested
page.
and reports that it is an Error number: 0x80244016.
Sometimes it comes up asking me for proxy credentials, but I have no idea
what it is wanting me to type in as I tried my proxy server username and
password and it didn't accept it and went onto the Error number: 0x80244016
page. Does anyone know how I can get round this?
