Check your time and date. Reboot the PC.

 

[mikee]

how does that relate to time and date?

 

[SHAWN]

If your time and date are off, Windows updates will not let you do any updates. Make sure that the time and date are set correctly then go back to the windows page

 

[mikee]

the time is right

True, but WinXP comes defaulted to automatically update the time via the internet, so having the wrong time actually takes exrta work!
