Hi Ben, basically 8000FFFF stands for "Generic Unexpected error" which
isn't
too helpful.

This could be because of corruption in the registry, a Third party program
is affecting the WU Service (anti-spwyare programs, Internet/web
accelerators, Firewall/Anti-Virus programs) or the downloaded file is
corrupt.

Have a look at: http://taurarian.mvps.org/WU_Vista/vista.htm
