Installed SP3 - Now Windows Update Does Not Work!

[Guest Tiziano]

I have Windows XP Professional SP3.

I just installed SP3 and Windows Update gives this error message:

 

***BEGIN***

Please change your Internet Explorer security settings

To save changes to your settings for this website, you need to enable

userdata persistence for Internet Explorer. Complete the steps below,

and then click Change settings to the left and try saving your changes

again.

In Internet Explorer, on the Tools menu, click Internet Options.

Click the Security tab, click the Internet security zone icon, and then

click Custom Level.

In the Settings dialog box, scroll to the Miscellaneous section.

Under Userdata persistence , select Enable.

Click OK and when the security warning dialog box appears, click Yes.

***END***

 

The strange thing is that Userdata Persistance is already enabled...
