I'm trying to install windows xp update. First I get this message "We've made
improvements to our website. To download the new version of the software and
begin using Windows Update, please click Install Now".

After downloading files I get this message: "Error number: 0x80070020".

Any one can help me please.

I was tearing my hair out with this , in the end - as usual-
the answer was easy - I had turned off my virus scanner ( avg )
and spybot but I had overlooked spybots teatimer ! once I'd turnd
that off the prooblem was solved ! :) ctrl+ alt + delete
selsct processes..... scroll down to TeaTImer and disable .. then
try the Update again ..\


Good luck :)

I had the error persistently when trying to do MS Update on a machine
that I hadn't used in a while, & went through a number of other places
that didn't mention the Tea Timer. As soon as I did that, I was able to
do the update.
Thanx for the tip.
