I have a Win98 box that is not able to update via the Windows Update site. When I attempt to run the scan it shows the error 0x800A138F and will not run the scan. I have tried all the fixes in the MS knowledge base. PLEASE HELP.

Thank you in advance for your assistance

There may be a number of things that cause the error in question. You may have to try some of these before you hit on the right one. Good luck.
