Windows update not working ?

just today without doing anything ( it worked before i went to sleep ) iexplorer 32bit stopped working and with it windows update too, when i enter windows update it just keeps "checking for updates" after about 20 min i get "Windows Update error 80072ee2" major problem for me is the iexplorer dying, iexplorer x64 works and firefox as well.

I'm running ultimate vista x64

anyone who knows what's happening ?
