a server error and to try again later. Its similar to whats posted in this newsgroup, I've tried a
many of the fixes as I could, but no luck. I'm listing all the things I have tried and nee
more suggestions

Windows Update Fails:
Disable your anti-virus when obtaining the updates.
Make sure that your firewall is allowing the connection to Windows Update .
This would be on ports 80 and 443.
