When I run Windows Update on XP Home, and click on "Scan for updates", the
percentage goes quickly from 0% to 100%, and I get the error "Windows Update
has encountered an error and cannot display the requested page". The error
code 0x800A138F is displayed at the bottom. I've tried deleting my tmp
internet files, cookies, & history. I've tried deleting the edb.log file.
I've tried installing the latest version of WU from Microsoft. I've tried
turning off my firewall (Kerio Personal Firewall). Same error every time.

I recently used WU to download and install SP1. I don't think it has worked
since then.

Any ideas will be appreciated.
