I'm also having the problem with windows update error 8024402F on Windows
Vista Home Premium I've tried every suggestion, what shold I do, will
reinstalling help? How do you enable the link?

I feel like such a idiot. I've just discovered that in their infinite wisdom
our shop of Geeks here disabled the link to Microsoft Update for some totally
unexplained reason and didn't pass that little gem on, hence the no update.
That updating can wait for another time. Thanks for the clue on that. It's
hard to soar like an Eagle when your surrounded by Turkeys!!
As for the rest, downloaded the new link for Direct X9.0c and it works a
treat!! I had that version already loaded but obviously for some reason
didn't work. Doesn't matter. I have MS Office, music, games, email and can
play DVD's. That should make my down time a little more bareable and keep me
outta trouble. Thanks for your time and research efforts.

first of all I did bring the system recovery disk with me as supplied

drivers I needed to get the basics up and running were not there.
Point to note, I'm not a geek so if someone could tell me in plain
speak where I can get these drivers it'd be appreciated. For some
reason when the computer was re-built the necesary drivers for all
normal functionality music, graphics display, etc did not load. I do
have basic functionality, but it gets messy from there.
Please open Device Manager and list all items which have a yellow
exclamation mark against them (or any other indicator of error). Then we
can see which drivers are missing. There should be an HP CD-ROM with all
required drivers on it (not necessarily the Windows installation CD-ROM),
but otherwise you can get all the drivers you need from the original
manufacturer's support web site.
Like I can't
get Widows updates anymore, at all, period. I've trolled the blogs to
get an answer but everything I try comes up with a big fat ZERO! I
You previously reported error code 8024402F. This is rarely reported, but
in several cases with a successful conclusion it was found to be either (a)
a third-party firewall blocking the correct operation of Windows Update, or
(b) security options on a home NAT router which was blocking Windows Update.
Please disable all third-party anti-virus, anti-malware, or firewall
applications. (if that leaves you without a firewall, then enable Windows
Firewall).
Please disable any firewall or security or blocking options in a home router
if you have one.
Now try Windows Update web site. Does it work now?
If not, please post today's content from the file
C:\WINDOWS\WindowsUpdate.log
used to be able to play some pretty good games like Alexander and
Warhammer, but no joy because the Graphics Controller(?) won't accept
the games. I've gone to the Intel site and downloaded the latest and
greatest 915GM/GMS, 910ML Express Chipset Family Video Adapter but
this doesn't fix the problem.
You might need to install DirectX 9.0c to enjoy the latest games. Follow
the donwload link from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/default.mspx
