Windows 98 Update error

When trying to find what Windows updates I can download, I get the following error 0x800A138F
I tried looking this up on Google, but am having a hard time find much info. I tried one site which focused on whether the sites used by MS were being allowed or blocked by IE. I’m pretty sure these sites aren’t being blocked, so has anybody else experienced this problem, and if so, what did you do to correct it? Thanks.

Did you see this article? It seems to be for XP but if your ead further into it, it applies to all MS OS’s. It tells you how to fix it.

Yeah, I did see it. I followed the first 9 steps, as well a couple for if you’re running spyware programs. I was hopeing for something a little more simple, instead of going through 12 steps (Hey, it’s a 12 step program :D) which is why I posted here.
Anyway, thanks for the link.
