I cannot get the "Automatic Update" feature to work.

[Frank Martin]

Recently I had to reinstall due to a System32 crash, and now the Automatic
update feature does not work.

I have WindowsXP pro.

The message given in the update log is as follows:

***

Can someone tell me what to do?
Please help, Frank
