98lite preview 4.5 "Chubby" mode. So far no other problems. No message board, and no FAQ or KB notes there on this issue. Looks like they haven't updated their pages in a while... Anyway I get this. I^6 IS installed and works, BTW
"Windows Update Error
Windows Update has encountered an error. This may be due to a discrepancy in your computer's time setting.
To check your date and time setting:
On the taskbar, double-click the time.
Verify that the date and time is correct.
You can also get online support if you are having problems with Windows Update.
Send error number to Microsoft (0x800C0008)
Note This sends error information but does not create a support incident; you may or may not receive a response."
Of course I didn't send, and my system time is correct!
Any ideas?

Hi,
How are you trying to access Windows Update, through a menu item or shortcut? I'm guessing that you are, because I recall having some kind of problem when I tried doing it that way. Try using the direct approach: Open IE and go to
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/Phil
P.S. If this suggestion doesn't solve your problem, maybe it will help somebody else.

i was having the same problem,and the solution was to add the address of the windows update site to your trusted sites in the security tab in the internet options control panel

I think I remember having to register some dll to fix that one. Im sure I remember finding the answer on the litepc knowledgebase before, but I cant seem to locate it now.

Rather than all the hassle, there IS an alternative. See:
http://www.windowsupdate.62nds.com/u don't have to use IE (u could use Firefox, for example). It's not just for XP but for older OSes - even win95. I got to hear of it through a UK homebuilder's site. Seems ok.
