I just clean installed Win XP Home Edition Version 2002 SP 2 on a Dell Dimension 2400.

I am trying to install windows updates but I get Error number: 0x80244019.

I am able to browse the web through internet explorer on this computer. Connection is fine.

Please suggest how I can access windows updates? I would like to install Service Pack 3.

Hi,

Install SP3 by downloading and running from...

http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=24

You can ignore the text that says that it is for network installations and also ignore the text advising Windows/Microsoft Update if only updating one PC.

Whether this will solve the 0x80244019 error is not certain. I know it will solve other errors but I have no specific knowledge of whether it will solve this error so please would you be kind enough to report back to us about this?

Tricky

EDIT: Many people are now reporting that SP3 does solve Windows Update error 0x80244019

    This was fix for me ... I couldn't get the SP3 update without access to Windows Update.  I was in a catch-22 here.  Regedit was 200, flipped it to 300 and rebooted, then Windows update smartened up.

    Thanks kopite4ever !!!

    I was also having problems getting my winows update to work for me after I installed IE8. But, after trying several different options and suggestions, this is the one that did the trick. Thx.
