Overview of my computer's software and their versions:
IDE: Visual Studio 2003 .net (version 7.1.3088)
.NET Framework 1.1 (version 1.1.4322)
MSXML 4 (version 40SP2, 6/2/2003)
OS: XP Pro (SP1)

CPU: 2.6 GHz
RAM: 512mb
C-drive: 3 gig free space

When I in Visual Sudio chooses [ Help | Check for Updates ] I get this error
message:
"Visual studio .Net 2003 setup encountered errors while attampting to
download files. Check your Web browser configuration settings and your
connection hardware, and then try again"

I've tryed with and without firewall, I still get the same error message. In
addition I have no problem using www.windowsupdate.com to download patches
for my OS.. My computer is always connected to the internet, and I haven't
experienced trouble in my connection hardware.

I've tryed Google for clues, but it doesn't give much help
