Failure to shut down Windows XP Home

[Doug Mills]

The following message was in my trouble log; Failed auto
update retrieval of third-party root list sequence number
from: with error: 0x2efd

Does anyone know how to fix this?

If the Update Root Certificates component is installed,
and the computer cannot connect to the Windows Update
site, you will receive these errors.

NOTE: The Update Root Certificates component automatically
updates trusted root-certificate authorities from the
Windows Update site at regular intervals.

Your computer must have access to the Internet or you must
turn off the Update Root Certificates component:

1. Control Panel / Add/Remove Programs / Add/Remove
Windows Components.

2. Clear the Update Root Certificates box and follow the
on-screen instruction in the Windows Components Wizard.
