I have been having this problem for months, and I fianlly got my windows 98
to update. I swear I had tried this before, but this time i did this with my
virus shield closed. Don't know if that had anything to do with the solution
or not, but here is what I did. hope this will help some one else who has
been getting the dreaded error message: 0x800B0004.
I actually found this answer on the Windows update and troubleshooter page
(again, I'm sure I did this before so maybe they had new information):

-- There are several potential causes for this error. First of all, make
sure you are running the current version of Internet Explorer. At this time,
the current version is IE 6 SP1. You can install IE 6 SP1 from this link:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads/critical/ie6sp1/default.asp
Secondly, if you are using a proxy server ask your network administrator to
make sure that the proxy server is set to allow anonymous connections to the
Internet.
Some more specific steps you can try to resolve this issue:

Register the following files with these steps:
1. Click on Start, Run and type "REGSVR32 SOFTPUB.DLL" (w/o the quotes).
You should see a popup message that this process succeeded.

You should see a popup message that this process succeeded.
3. Click on Start, Run and type "REGSVR32 MSSIP32.DLL" (w/o the quotes).
You should see a popup message that this process succeeded.
4. Now try the Windows Update site and see if you get the same error.
