I've seen some cases where you have to register certain dll's or delete the update folder contents and retry.

I don't have XP at home but if the above doesn't help, let me know. I'll invoice you later.

I can fix it, but it's a little too involved to explain on a message board post. Try googling it. Pretty common problem.
Try this. Go to C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution and delete ONLY the folder named "Download", then go here and download the MS utility that fixes common Win update problems. Run it in default mode first, reboot, then see if that corrects the problem. If not, run it in the aggressive mode.
If it's Vista, there is a known issue with Win updates. Again, google it. There is a utility to correct it. Get it here . Scroll down a bit and click the "Fixit" button

There is a big time hijacker worm going around that gets in by posing as a Windows update. I run Stopzilla and it found it, classified it as a "critical" threat and removed it.</p>
