Windows update error code 80240016

[Steve Burnett]

I have a windows update error code 80240016. I am trying to carry out updates but it won\'t let me.
Can someone recomend a website to down load some software to fix it. There are lots on the net but I\'d prefer to use a site that some one can recommend as being safe.

Thanks.

After doing the above it appears that the update error code has gone but the update hangs on the Internet explorer 8 update. No clues on that at the moment. Anyone got a hammer, that\'ll fix it!!!!

Could try a manual update of ie. Look on their website for ie. Or try a different browser
