Cannot install windows additional updates for my Window XP SP3

[Bruce]

I am a registered partner with Microsoft and fix PCs for a living. I also
loaded a PC with XP (original), installed SP2 and then SP3 (the full network
install version I keep handy on my flash drive). Windows downloaded a few
updates of it's own automatically and I allowed them to be installed. Then I
installed some programs (Legacy Family Tree, AVG 8 Free, Quicktime, Adobe 8
Reader, and Office 97) and tried to install some driver updates from the
Windows Update Site. I also could not get any updates to load - NOT EVEN THE
GENUINE ADVANTAGE VALIDATION TOOL.

I tried the suggested fix and it worked. This is a common problem when
spyware has disabled these DLL files, but this time either one of those
programs or SP3 has done it. My guess is that it was SP3. I hope this helps
MS to find out what has happened and how to fix it with SP3.1.

Well. Here I am. I too am a partner and build computers. I have been using
XP SP2 sys builder's editions out of a box. I finally ran out of them last
week in the middle of a two computer build for a trading floor. The first
machine updated fine using the last copy out of the box. I ordered another
copy overnighted which i got monday afternoon via fedex from Newegg. It is
now almost two in the dam morning and I am pulling my hair out. Absolutely
nothing is working. I have loaded those seven files in the registry. I have
ininstalled and reinstalled the new installer (which worked fine using 2
month old OS disks) I have even gone so far as to wipe the hard drive and
start over. I have no idea where to go from here. I need 99 updates.

Excellent Grega, the problem was so frustrating.
