UNSOLVED
Automatic Update does not work
I 've had automatic update activated for at least a year but have not had any updates.
I went on the windowsupdate website and got an error message when I tried to update from there.
They offered a solution which involved deleting the contents of the Datastore file in %windir%\SoftwareDistribution. That did not work.
WinXP SP 2
Dim 2350
Thanks,
Tom

If it's a 0x8024400e error, I had that and was able to fix it by deleteing the software distribution file you mentioned, but there were a few steps involved in doing that. There may be something else that can help in the following link, sorry it's such a mess, I didn't know how to format it when I posted. I suggest you copy it, and reformat it so you can carefully follow the instructions. There are 3 things to try mentioned. The 2nd one helped me, but the 3rd one having to do with CATROOT2 helped someone else.
