I recently had to reinstall my software as it originally came on my computer
to take care of a corruption problem. Pretty much everything is fine, now.
However, I want to update to Service Pack 2 and I find that I can't.

When trying to access the Update site, I get the 0x8ddd0003 error. I've
followed the instructions in the Knowledge Base article that is given as a
link (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=326686), but it hasn't worked.
Actually, I had to manually edit the registry using the Windows 98
instructions because when I try to run gpedit.msc as instructed in the WinXP
directions, it says the file cannot be found.

I am the only user (and therefore administrator) on this machine. A few
auto updates have run and taken care of the critical issues, but I never had
any problems with SP2 and would like to get my machine back to that point.
ANY idea what I can do to eliminate the error from the updates site?

Can you get it by running Winupdate?
