Please help with error at "Windows Update"
Hi,
I just loaded Win2000 Pro and some other software.
Then I attempted Windows Update. As soon as I press "scan for updates", I get a "windows update error" - Send error number to Microsoft (0x80072F05).
I'm logged on as Administrator.
Oh, after I installed Win2000 Pro, I had to do a chkdsk and it found a bad file. Hopefully it's not related.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Go to your internet explorer options and make sure you have the language set to english. In some weird cases I have seen an error like this and checking the language would find nothing was set by default.
Run SFC /SCANNOW as well incase the problem was in a windows protected file (You will need the 2000 CD).
Other than that try resetting the Internet Explorer Defaults.
