Cryptographic Service Fix Doesn't work for me

[StWG]

I looked through this forum for an answer to my problem
of the KB823980 Setup Error.

The fix offered of doing a Disk Cleanup, etc. did NOT
work for me.

I am having problems with 4 things:

1. Cannot install Windows Update
---I changed my security settings to LOW and it still
didn't work.

2. Cannot install Service Pack 1
---KB823980 Setup Error message

3. Cannot install the Worm Patch
---KB823980 Setup Error message

4. Cannot start my computer in safe mode
---Pressing F8 during startup only gives me a
keyboard error

My computer was infected with the blaster worm, which has
been removed, and I scan clean. I activated the firewall
after removing the virus.

Any help is most appreciated.
