Hi All, due to all the junk on my system (Jim Butt is the new one) I am trying to upgraded to SP 1A so I can remove it and keep it off. Problem is I cannot upgrade Windows. Everytime I try I get the below error. The help link just refers me to my system administrator. Real helpful! I have searched online for the error number but didnt get much help there and I also have verified in the control panel that windows update are set for automatic download. Any help is appreciated on this!


Error number: 0x8DDD0003

Is your Operating System legit or is it a cracked version?

why upgrade to SP1a, when SP 2 is now available and recommended. Infact, if memory serves me correctly, last time I looked - Microsoft were announcing that all users will need SP2 installed in order to use Windows Update.

My advice, if you can - download and install SP 2 - you'll have to go via the 'downloads' link on microsoft.com rather than the Windows Update site.

If you've time, download the network install version rather than the express install - and back it up for prosperity.

Hope thant helps
