I have windows xp home edition and cant install windows updates. Anytime I go to the microsoft windows update site, it gives me the following error msg: cant install updates and the error is 0x80080001
Any help
 
First, make sure all your browser windows are closed. Next, browse to:

C:\Program Files\WindowsUpdate

and look for a folder called V4 and/or V5.

If you find these folders, just move them to your recycle bin and then try again. It should work for you this time (at least it always does for me).

Good luck!
