All my downloads in my Microsoft update history show installatin failures
Error Code: 0x80246005. I recently reinstalled Window XP and now have this
trouble.

Is this a home / stand-alone pc, or a business pc in a corporate network? If in a corporate network, check with your system administrator.

The error means "Network connection was not available".

If this is a stand-alone pc, the basic question is: Can you use other programs & successfully access the internet? Can you determine if internet connectivity is otherwise ok?
