what is catastrophic failure error code 0x8000FFFF

[marsonwae]

I have tried to download some clipart and I get the message 'Clipart
Organiser cannot complete the operation catastrophic failure error code
0x8000FFFF'. Up until this evening, I've been able to download clipart
without any trouble.

There have been quite a few posters having this issue. Updating your Java
software usually cures it.
