Thx PA Bear. My Windows version is Windows XP service Pack 1 apparently.
In fact my last time re-formatted, it allowed me to update as normal. But this time, it prompted me the error number 0x8007000B.
Wondering you have any solution. Thanks

Thanks MowGreen. Have tried on your solution. However, the error number 0x8007000B still persist.
Is that some of my file corrupted during my re-formatting time.
Btw, my windows version is Windows XP service pack 1
Thanks Jason

Try Method 2 here: LINK
If you still have problems, download/install WinXP SP3 manually (yes, skip SP2) using the link below, reboot twice, then check in at Windows Update to install any critical security updates offered.
Download details: Windows XP Service Pack 3 LINK
WinXP SP3 - Read all prerequisites for a successful installation LINK
Free unlimited installation and compatibility support is available for Windows XP, but only for Service Pack 3 (SP3), until 14 Apr-09. Chat and e-mail support is available only in the United States and Canada. Go to LINK | select "Windows XP" then select "Windows XP Service Pack 3" -- ~PA Bear

What is the installed antivirus/security suite ? Which firewall is being used ?
There is no need to run an Elevated Command Prompt with XP SP1 because that is only required if your User Account does not have true Admin privileges, as User Accounts do *not* have true Admin privileges in Vista.
So, please show hidden files, folders, and system files: LINK
Using Windows Explorer [Start > (All) Programs > Accessories] navigate to WINDOWS\system32 Locate cdm.dll. Right click it and choose Properties. Click the Version tab. It should now be at Version 7.2.6001.784 Do the same for the following to confirm that they are all at the same Vesion level -
wuapi.dll wuauclt.exe wuaueng.dll wuauserv.dll wucltui.dll wups2.dll wups.dll wusetup.exe wuweb.dll
If *any* of the files listed above are at a different Version level than 7.2.6001.784, then please tell us which one. Next, open the WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files subfolder. Locate WUWebClass, right click it, and choose Update. Now right click WUWebClass once more, choose Properties. Click the Version tab. It show show as Version 7.2.6001.784.
Now go to Start > Run > type in cmd Click OK or press Enter At the Command Prompt, type in the following commands pressing Enter after *each one*
net stop wuauserv net stop bits
*** Leave the Command window open for now ***
Open Windows Explorer once more and navigate to WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore *Delete* DataStore.edb
Now open WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\Download *Delete all contents* of Download
Back in the Command window, enter these commands, pressing Enter after *each one*
net start wuauserv net start bits exit
Reboot the system and see if it can update now. If not then the installed antivirus\security suite and/or 3rd party software is preventing the system from communicating with the update servers.

MowGreen,
I have the same error message as Jason and I have done all the steps you placed in your last reply post.
My wuauserv.dll file is version 5.43790.5512, not version 7.2.6001.784 as you stated it should be. Also, wusetup.exe was missing from the Windows/system32 folder. All other files, include WUWebClass, were the version you stated.
This problem started when I did a reinstall of Windows XP SP2 and then upgraded to Windows XP SP3. I also have IE7, ZoneAlarm firewall and avast! antivirus. I am behind a Linksys router which has a hardware firewall as well. I tried the DSN changes that other posts have stated, to no effect.
Thanks for your help.
