Would have been much more useful to have before the advent of broadband IMO, as downloading on dial-up was a pain, but now most people have broadband it's not such an issue I would think.

Finally, for some reason, we focused on error 0x80240FFF and googled this page: http://www.msusenet.com/archive/topic.php/t-1870890219.html If you browse to near the bottom you'll see a twin posting: marcoaa at gmail.com09-29-2005, 12:02 AM joopbraak at 12move.nl09-29-2005, 12:26 AM Did you check your Network settings? I heard (yes, really!) that "Client for Microsoft networks" needs to be installed for Windows Update to work. and that's it! We missed words and have not recovered yet.
