RE: 0x8024402C is driving me absolutely crazy!

I tried ALL the stuff listed below, and it helped me to get it working again
one time!
Next time it didn´t work again. :-((

Playing around then I just stopped the wuaserv and started the WinUpdate-
and it worked !!!

I assume the running service (from startup) is causing a lot of trouble and
headache.
Rem: I´m using XP Pro SP1
