XP pro won't update

When I run Windows update it never says there are any new
updates to install. I know there are because my other XP
pro machine gets them. I have the machine set to download
them automatically but nothing ever downloads. In the
Application event viewer I get a crypt32 source error
that says "failed auto update retrieval of third party
root list ..."

What can I do?

Run a virus scan in safe mode.
