Alright this is a issue where if you install XP SP3 right after you install XP with SP2 the Automatic updates fail. There are some updates you need but every time you go to install them they fail for some unknown reason.
This is a known bug and there is a work around.
Open Start, Run, and run these commands, one by one:
If you know how to create a batch file you can also do that and save yourself a few seconds. But this is the solution that is offered.
What this does is re-register these files with Windows again and makes Windows update fully functional again. After you do this you will not have any issues with installing the missing updates.
Cheers,
Mak
