Hello there! I need some help. I recently installed Windows XP Home on my own PC and I installed SP2 with the CD microsoft sent me. I then went into Windows Update V5 and tried to install .NET Framework 1.0 SP3. During the install of that or the GDI+ Protection tool I got the blue screen of death. It turns out the blue screen was caused by my Radeon 9200SE Videocard. I fixed that. But now I need to get back into Windows Update and try to download updates. Everytime I do, I get an error that says "Cannot search for updates" or something along those lines. In the corner the error code is 0xC80003FA. Every single time I open Windows Update I get that. I have restarted my PC and everything, that doesn't work. I ran disk cleanup, that does not work, I cleared cookies, that doesn't work. I don't know what to do. Please help me!
