RE: I eventually get this error 0x8DDD0004 on the MS update page
Hi, just found this post and found it very interesting as i experienced the
same problem. Then the admin account appeared to lose priviledges. Shortly
afterwards Windows XP crashed completely - wouldn't boot - so I reinstalled
the OS.
I strongly suspect an infection, despite a clean bill of health from Norton
360. I wonder how your computer is?
The people at Update Help where extremely useful!
