Error Code Ox80070057

Anonymous

I am running XP SP3, and when I go to the Windows update site and check for express updates, the green progress bard starts and just keeps going with no end result. I downloaded the Fixit Tool and it quoted the error code as above. How can I rectify this please?

Thanks, I did pluck up the courage to do that, and the Update site did scan and showed some critical updates. But they failed to install. See below

Assuming an English-US language version of WinXP (x86)...

ACTIONS:

Download the installer for KB2888505, saving the download to your desktop: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=41074

Close all open applications (i.e., anything with an icon on the task bar).

Double-click on the file you saved in #1 above (i.e., IE8-WindowsXP-KB2888505-x86-ENU.exe) to install the update.

Reboot twice.

5, Test by opening IE8 (only!) to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com & running a CUSTOM scan.

=> If a Root Certificates update is listed in the Optional Software updates category on the left-hand side, install it to take full advantage of IE8's enhanced security.

=> Tip: With the sole exception of updates for MS Office, do NOT install any other Optional Software updates nor any Optional Hardware updates; just hide them, e.g., too.

Now return to the main results window & install any remaining updates offered (e.g., KB2876331, KB2900986; KB2868626); follow all prompts.

Sounds a bit complicated but I will give it a try. A bit nervous about it.

On second thoughts, I'll leave it to my computer repair man to have a look at it, as I'm a bit too nervous at my age to do this myself. I have printed out al the details to show him. Everyone's help has been immense on here. Thanks to all who replied
