Still a no go. The Registry entry was successfully deleted. It had been set to 172.0.0.1 I am attaching a word document with my internet registry settings.

Hello again, warrenb. I'm stumped.

When you tried the 4 methods suggested by MS, did you have any trouble completing the steps? Have you tried all of them again?

Please try this. You can get an IE tab add-on from Mozilla. This is extremely simple(I use it) and will allow you to download Windows Updates without Internet Explorer. Get the download here and if you need further instruction go here and click 'Installation'.

Are you able to update Windows within Firefox now?

I have retried all the suggested fixes 1-4 with the same results. I upgraded to IE8 but that didn't help either. I have download the Firefox addon to my desktop but I don't know how to install it. There is an install.rdf file that I think I need to run but don't know how to.

Go here and click 'Installation'.

Even if this works, it's not fixing your problem--it's just a workaround.

The only other thing I know to do is a repair install of Windows. Do you have an XP setup CD?
