Empty Internet Explorer's temporary internet files, History, and all Cookies. Also, suggest you check the Hosts file located in
WINDOWS\SysWow64\drivers\etc to see if the update sites have been added to it. Delete them if present.
If no joy, go here, download and *save*: AU Check (v78a)
Once the download completes close *all* open browsers and programs.
Temp disable the installed AV/security suite. If need be, consult the User Guide or visit the manufacturer's web site to learn how this is done. All processes and services of the above need to be temp disabled.
*** IF a 3rd party firewall is being used then Disable it and Enable the native XP firewall. The system must be connected in order to download required updating software components. ***
Now run au_check_v78a_codeplex.exe and allow it some time to complete it's operation.
*** Reenable any 3rd party firewall if one was disabled and then Disable the Windows Firewall ***
Restart the system now.
Is the issue resolved now ?

None of these suggestions did it for me. Any others? I went with windoz support and the guy who was "helping" me was totally clueless about 64-bit systems so I thought I'd check back here..

Hello.
I have problem with Windows Update within my XP 64bit SP2.
Recenty I reinstalled my system and installed Windows and update normally. But after that first update, I can't access Windows update anymore. I automatically redirects the http://update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en-us to the old http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp site.
All I got is the notification Windows Update Error. No error code, just that.
I tried couple of things but nothing works (clearing cache and setting of IE, unregistering and registering some DLLs, reinstalling WindowsUpdateAgent30-x64.exe etc.).
Is there a way to change somewhere the old v4 site link to the latest one v6?
Does anybody has suggestion for me?
