Updates ... "Windows could not search for new updates"

I had a problem with IE7 and 'reset' it under Internet Options \ Advanced \
Reset.

Since then I receive 'windows could not search for new upadtes" with the
following error - Code 80072EE2.

Suggestions? Also, if this message should be placed in another section
please let me know. I am using a news group reader (Windows Mail).

Thanks, Dave

Cal, I think the problem might have been I was 'looking' for updates the
same time they were uploading them. This morning I successfully installed
six new updates. Whatever the problem was, it's gone. Thanks, Dave Horne
