This is the error message I keep getting. (I'm running XP with SP2 on a PC!)

MS is 'pushing' their customers towards purchasing Macs, Joyce. Whether

consciously or subconciously, that's what Vista appears to be doing. <w>

 

Since you have XP, please see:

 

Windows Update page says "Thank you for your interest in obtaining

updates from our site."

Thanks, MowGreen, for that solution it worked to get me past the hijack. I

can now access the Update page but get error message 0x80244022 when I try to

scan for updates. :(

 

 

Try as I might, I cannot understand why MS's endorsement of an Apple product

should disrupt the [larger] universe of the Windows PC user. However, had

they chosen to endorse a Dell or an HP product, I'd still be irritated at the

hijack of the Update page.

 

Thanks, again, for your help!

0x80244022 means that the server is busy

Wait a few hours and retry it, Joyce.

 

BTW, the Apple reference was an attempt at a joke. Reckon

you didn't get that part :)

*snort*

 

In a different forum, I had cross posted this issue and another MVP lobbed a

"MS uses Apple" quip at me, too. Honestly, it looked to me that you people

had been nipping at the MS Kool-aid.

 

Anyhoo, sorry I missed the humor through all the frustration. I'm now

dealing with decoding MS error messages. Turns out you have a 10-character

alphanumeric that means "server busy, try again later." I lost half a day

with that one.

 

Maybe I should look into Macs. )

No Kool-aid nipped here, Joyce. Remember, MVPs are

" Independent Experts. Real World Answers © " or so the T-shirt

MS gave me states <w>

 

BTW, my nephew, who started me off in the computing world way back

in the last century, has given up and bought a MacBook Pro.

That was shocking news to me. <eg>
