Hi

I have been using Vista for some time now and have RC1 installed. Like all
other public BETA's, RC1 was working fine but I am now getting a problem
trying to update Windows Vista.

I have just reinstalled Vista and activated without problems but when I
attempted to check for updates, I got the following ERROR message:

X Windows could not search for new updates
Error(s) found:
Code 8024400A

Prior to reinstalling RC1, updating Windows was not a problem, so why is it
happening now?

I have followed the info for automatically detecting LAN settings in
internet options/connections (and we have never had to do this before -
update just worked), but that did not resolve the problem.

I have also seen something about the network using a proxy server but we are
not using a proxy server and never have done.

This problem has never ocurred before and certainly never with Vista and
what I don't understand is that after Vista installation, I was able to
immediately activate it.

I would appreciate some help ASAP.

Regards

Dave
 
They shut that service off on or about Oct.2/2006 as far as I know from posts
and other information. No updates are available for any beta version, though
they maybe for some people, most do not get them now.
 
Same message for me, when I first installed Vista RC1 5728, I did an update
for drivers but now I want to get the french language pack by Windows Update
like it is possible (I read it on several serious websites) but I have this
message too.

Help would be usefull.
