Windows Update Fails with Event ID 623 in Application Log

I'm trying to do a Windows Update, but the page continues to time out. Error number 0x8024400E shows in the top right corner of the web page and the following error is logged in the Application log:

Event Type:      Error
Event Source:      ESENT
Event Category:      Transaction Manager
Event ID:      623

Time:            11:42:20 AM
User:            N/A

Description:
wuaueng.dll (2532) SUS20ClientDataStore: The version store for this instance (0) has reached its maximum size of 8Mb.

That was it. Seemed to be a corrupt wuweb.dll. Once I deleted it and went back to the WU site, I had to re-install two ActiveX controls and everything was fine.

Thanks!
