When I run Windows Update in a Microsoft Vista machine I get the error

0x80072efd. I have tried all the standard tech bulletins you have

recommended and the only one that seems to do anything was the suggestion to

delete the file C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution. This solved the problem of

windows forever looking for an update but not the error 0x80072efd. I am not

running a firewall, even Windows firewall is disabled. All virus

protection/spyware is off. I an not going through a proxy and am connected

straight to my broadband provider via a cable modem. I have no problem

connecting with the internet for anything else. Also there are no other

programs running in foreground. I even shutdown Windows SideBar. Below is

the log file from Bootup to failure. I note two strange things. The entry

at 19:54:58:381 stating that SelfUpdate is in an error state and WinHTTP

saying SendRequestUsingProxy failed since the Proxy List Used is <null> and

the initialization states there is no proxy. Any ideas?
