Shutdwn FATAL: WUCheckForUpdatesAtShutdown failed, hr=80240FFF

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi,

Running Windows XP SP2 with all available SP2 updates, each time I boot or
reboot my PC, windowsupdate.log records the following (apparent) error
message:

2008-07-21 11:47:21:687 1020 414 Misc

I prefer to manually update Windows XP at
www.update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en-us, so the
following Windows XP Services are 'Disabled' when I am not updating:

- Automatic Updates (wuauserv)
- Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS)

However, when I do update, at MS' update website, I set 'Automatic Updates'
to Automatic (and Start the service) and I set 'Background Intelligent
Transfer Service' to Manual (and if there are updates available, it starts
itself and sets Automatic). When finished, if rebooting is required (after
rebooting) or if rebooting is not required, I return both service to
'Disabled.'

Using Windows Firewall, with no anti-virus software running, as a 56K
dial-up user, home PC, single user, no home network, the remaining Windows
XP SP2 services are set as follows:

AUTOMATIC
Cryptographic Services
DCOM Server Process Launcher

How do I correct my system to eliminate the (apparent) errors from
happening, and subsequently being recorded in windowsupdate.log?

Many thanks,
