I have been unable to get my windows updates since early September 2011. I have tried various fixes including MS fixit to no avail. Error code 80096001.
Any help would be welcomed........Roger

The number one factor that seems to impact the ability to "get" windows updates seems to be the time, date and regional settings (time zone) on the local machine. Have you investigated that as a possible issue?

The error seems to indicate:

A system-level error occurred while verifying trust
Which might tie into Trouble's comments.
