Windows Update Fails 8000FFFF

[Smiffy]

Trying to do a Windows Update in Vista Ultimate and get the Windows Update
Fails 8000FFFF error. Any ideas what I can do to resolve this? Thanks.

What sort of hardware configuration are you running?

Hello,
What is in the WindowsUpdate.log located in the \windows folder?
Capture at least ten lines prior to the error and ten after the error
message.
Thanks,

Darrell, not sure what goes on with Microsoft newsgroup readers -- but
you are not replying to the OP.
