I recieved my new dell inspirion 1520 today and went to install msn live messenger, it came up wiht an error, so when I checked this out it indicated I needed to do a vista update check which using the simple do a vista update button under the start button. I went to do the update and when it went to check the website for the update it came back wiht an error code of 8000FFFF, I also tried going directly to the webiste rather than through the start button and the same thing occurs. I feel my messenger issues are related to my not being able ot update. I can find no listing of an error code 8000FFFF anywhere and most of the live update support sites only list issues when the update is actually connecting to the website for updates. I am using McAfee Security Centre and thought maybe my firewall was stopping it but I do not think that is the case. Any help anyone can provide would be very much appreciated.
