I can't install any updates whatsoever. It says I have a corrupted XML parser, which doesn't really help, and all the 40 sites I've checked from google contain information leading to a developer site that is down. Any help?

Oh, and this happened when I uninstalled Vista SP2 Beta.

Did you try a system restore yet?

I couldn't resist. But seriously, it seems that the first result brings up some good info.

I fixed it. Had to format the entire thing and start back from scratch.

there was a way to fix it, i had it on one of my systems, it requires editing a system file and removing some host entrys.

Its a problem caused by windows update and only affects a small percentage of PC's
