I haven't been able to get any updates since December. I don't know how to
fix it. I'm thinking its because of the software that was installed by the
university when I got there. So now that I've left I can't get updates. Help
please?!

Windows version?

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed? What
anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall
(if any)?

0x80072EFE - ERROR_INTERNET_CONNECTION_ABORTED - The connection with the
server has been terminated.

0x80072EFE - ERROR_INTERNET_CONNECTION_ABORTED - The connection with the server has been
terminated.

Windows XP -

If you were behind a ISA server, this might be relevant:

You experience problems when you access the Windows Update Version 6 Web site through a
server that is running ISA Server
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/885819

If not, then you could try the following:-

Start/Run and then type: cmd.exe
Then on the workstation run: Proxycfg -u

To get more help on proxycfg if you need to configure it to use a proxy server or Internet
Explorer's settings: proxycfg -?

If you don't have a proxy, you will need status Direct access (no proxy server).
To set direct access: proxycfg -d

Run this command to see what proxy configuration WU uses: proxycfg
