Because the problem may be the result of an external contaminant, the first thing the reader should do is scan his system for viruses and run an antispyware application. If these steps don’t fix the error, he can try one of two workaround solutions.

The first one involves editing the Registry, Then he can access the Registry by clicking Run from the Start menu, typing regedit in the field, and clicking OK. In the Registry Editor, he should locate the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\CONTROL\WINDOWS key and select the CSDVersion value from the right pane. Next, he should right-click the value, select Modify, type 0 in the Value Data field, and click OK.

After exiting the Registry and rebooting the PC, the reader should try to access the Windows Update site. With any luck, he’ll succeed. If not, he should try the second workaround solution, which is to open the Start menu and click All Programs, Accessories, and Notepad. In Notepad, he should type the following commands (Smart Computing subscribers can access this article online and copy/paste this text), pressing ENTER after each line:
