Nope don't think it was that.

 

Right as I ran the troubleshooter, it worked. It didn't even finish. xD I'm so tired I probably shouldn't be doing this. Thanks guys.

I was trying to check for updates and it came up with an error code 80246002. Don't really know what to do... OS is Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 32-bit.

 

This is a fresh install, BTW.

Here's a quote from windowsitpro.com that may help you out.

 

One response from Carl Hudkins (thanks, Carl!) describes it best:

I appreciate the thread tracking this issue, and wanted to let you know of my success.  Part of my job is building and updating OS images; today I hit this problem on a newly installed 2008R2 x64 system.  KB947821 did not help, but the suggestion of changing DNS from one of the threads did.  I changed to use Google’s 8.8.8.8 and, although it took over five minutes to check for updates, I did not get the error code and was able to proceed.

 

So, it seems to be a DNS issue, which I'm sure will work itself out eventually. The issue could be related to Time Warner's DNS problem today, that caused all Microsoft sites to be inaccessible. If you remember, TWC had a major service outage just yesterday.
