Windows Update Error 0x80090008
- Thread starter chrisaroz
- Start date
I'm running a similar problem. None of the microsoft pages or updates work. I can't remember if the error is the same. Can you download anything else from microsoft? Particularly messenger?
I'll try this later when I get to work on that computer:
-Set internet explorer security - Medium
-Run SuperAntispyware
-ipconfig /flushdns
-kill wuocul.exe
-delete siszy32.exe
-svchost talking 100% of task bar memory?

The system that I'm working on had some virus infections but came to me after another technician removed them.

Registry security permissions? This often causes Windows Update to fail

Clear cookies and check time zone and check log
Have you tried starting IE without addons or tried clearing IE temp files and cookies and history and etc.
Check your time and make sure it is set to the right time and time zone.
Have you looked at your windowsupdate.log any clues in it? How to read the Windowsupdate.log file
Read this page: http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups it leads you to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949377 where they say to ignore the title of the page and scroll down to the "advanced troubleshooting section" and follow "Method 1: Reset the registry and the file permissions" This page also shows you in the "More information" section how to determine whether a registry update failed.
