Error after upgrading to genuine version of XP

[Guest karen]

Hi,

 

I've just upgraded my Windows XP to a genuine version by buying the windows

genuine advantage kit. Everything seemed to go well. But later, when I went

to the Microsoft web site to check for updates, the computer took longer

than normal to opening up the web site. When it did open I clicked on the

express update and it began checking for the latest updates. After some time

it came up with a message saying I had a problem with my computer and an

error code 0x80072EE2.

 

I don't seem to have any trouble opening up other web sites

 

Does anyone have any idea what this means and how I would fix this problem?

Error 0x80072EE2 is: ERROR_INTERNET_TIMEOUT

Translation: The request has timed out.

 

When accessing the Update site, you receive the 0x80072EE2 or 0x80072EFD error.

You may receive an "Error 0x80072EE2," "Error 0x80072EE7," "Error 0x80072EFD," "Error

0x80072F76," or "Error 0x80072F78" error message when you try to use the Windows Update

Web site or the Microsoft Update Web site

When searching for available updates on the Update site, you receive the 0x8024502d

error - WinXP.

Updates are not installed successfully from Windows Update, from Microsoft

Update, or by using Automatic Updates after you repair a Windows XP

installation:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943144

 

NB: Also applies to clean installs, upgrade installs, and Recovery installs.

Thanks to both TaurArian and PA Bear for your assistance. Hopefully I can
