    Windows update error 80072F8F

    I know this one is to do with the clock being wrong, but mine is set right, and I cant find any other reason for it giving me the error when I try and update.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks

    Yep, tried those, the bios clock was the second one I tried, after checking the vista time/date/year etc.

    I know the time is right on your system, but make sure your location is too (ie. Its set to London - GMT).

    Its all correct, the error must have been on microsoft's end because its working now.
