Diana,

Thanks a lot it helped me.

I had 2 Win XP workstations that I removed from one domain and brought into
our domain. Was having the exact same problem Byron was having. Apparently
they had the registry key set to 1 for the default user profile.

Hello Byron,

Pleae check to see if you have a policy that is disabling access to Windows
Update.

Error 0x80240025 denotes:
"WU_E_USER_ACCESS_DISABLED User access to Windows Update is prevented by
Group Policy setting"
If you check the registry for the DisableWindowsUpdateAccess key, you will
likely find the following:
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-18\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\WindowsUpdate
DisableWindowsUpdateAccess REG_DWORD (1)

S-1-5-18 maps to the SYSTEM ACCOUNT

To correct the problem, either set the value to 0 or delete the key.
You may also need to check that you do not have a Group Policy that
continues to set this value to 1 to avoid the problem from happening after a
policy is refreshed.

Could be that your network uses a proxy. Let's see the WindowsUpdate.log
Go to Start > Run > type in or copy and paste the below in and then click
OK

%windir%\windowsupdate.log

The log will open. Scroll all the way down to the bottom and work your
way back up looking for FATAL or WARNING entries.
Copy and paste the entries proceeding and right after any FATAL or
WARNING entries into your reply, please.
