Hi,

I've got a clean install of Windows Server 2003 R2. It refuses to update from the Windows Update site. If I go to IE's Tools menu and choose Windows Update, I get to "Get the latest Windows Update software". If I click Install Now, it gets to 100% downloaded then dies with error 0x80070020 and says "the website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are trying to view". If I click the link for Microsoft Update I get to the license agreement, then it does a download and I get the same error listed above. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Mark
