Hi everyone
Im having some difficulty with a laptop.
It won't update because of error 80072EE2
If I use IE8 and try to go to the windows update site it tells me there is a problem with the security certificate.
I'm guessing this is my problem?
What do you think?
Hi InHem & welcome to sevenforums.
I'll try to help you.
To request a new certificate
- Open Certificate Manager by clicking the Start button
, typing certmgr.msc into the Search box, and then pressing ENTER.*
If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
- Click the Personal folder.
- Click the Action menu, point to All Tasks, and then click Request New Certificate.
- Follow the steps in the wizard.
Notes
- You cannot request a certificate for a service.
- To request a Digital Signature Standard (DSS) certificate from a certification authority, you must select the User Signature Only certificate template in the Certificate Request Wizard.
To renew a certificate
- Open Certificate Manager by clicking the Start button
- Click the certificate you want to renew.
- Click the Action menu, point to All Tasks, and then do one of the following:
- Click Renew Certificate with New Key.
- Point to Advanced Operations, and then click Renew this certificate with the same key.
- Complete the wizard to renew the certificate.

Hope this resolves you issue.
That error message - 80072EE2 - actually translates as...
INTERNET_TIMEOUT
and has nothing to do with certificates. It simply means that the client was unable to establish a stable connection to the server.
Usually, this is a transient error.
Sometimes it can be caused by problems with proxy servers.
Please post the C:\Windows\windowsudpate.log file
Just a note from the first post.
