Auto update is unavailable on pc per microsoft.com's security chec

[Guest]

Auto update is unavailable on my pc per microsoft.com's security check.
I am the administrator/owner of this pc.
The Auto Update is grayed out when I right click on MyCompute r> Properties > Automatic Updates Tab on System Properties.
When I go to Control Panel (Classic View) > Performance and Maintenance > Administrative Tools > Services > Auto Updates is not in the list of Services (Local) so I am unable to make any changes.
I have an eMachines W2646 -2.60 GHz Intel Celuron Processor- that I got on 6/22/2004 with Windows XP Home Edition SP1 already loaded, I guess that is called the OEM.
Auto Updates is supposed to be included as part of SP1.
How can I get Auto Updates on my pc?
PLEASE, PLEASE HELP ME ... YOU CAN EMAIL ME AT (e-mail address removed) with the solution. Thank you.
Will this link get me the necessary download for auto updates?

It will be listed as 'Automatic Updates'. If this is services is missing from the list, visit www.blackviper.com and download the XP Services configuration script and apply it (or the selected REG key alone.)
