I have recently posted an article related to http://localtech.gidblog.com/2007/07/31/unable-to-install-windows-updates/ on my blog.

There is a batch file that should fix any issues you're facing related to Windows Updates and accessing secure websites, so if you would like to test it out or have any suggestions on how I could improve it, please do let me know. I look forward to hearing from you all
