Hi,
About hidding and restoring updates;
Go to Windows Updates / Choose custom
Uncheck the update in question
Expand it
Check Don't show this update again
Click Review and Install
In rare cases you cannot hid an update:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
I can't hide an update?
If your computer is part of a network, a network administrator has
determined that the update must be installed for security maintenance. The
update will be installed on the schedule that the network administrator
sets. In rare cases, Microsoft will issue an update deemed critical to how
the Windows Update Web site or Automatic Updates functions. These updates
cannot be hidden, so you will always be notified that they are available to
be downloaded or installed so you can continue using Automatic Updates.

But I don't think that this applies in your case.
About SystemRoot - that means your windows directory - c:\windows
With that said................
What message do you get when you open cmd and type:
jview
If you get a message:
'jview' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Look in %systemroot%\system32 folder for the following files:
Javart.dll
Jview.exe
Msjava.dll
Rename each file (e.g. javart.old) and reboot your computer.
Try checking windows updates again.
If you get a message with java version check your version.
If it's lower then 5.00.3810 try downloading the update manually from the
following site:
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/catalog
Choose: Find updates for Microsoft Windows operating systems
Choose: Windows Xp Sp1 (btw: whic service pack do you have installed
?)
Choose: Critical Updates and Service Packs
Find the update: 816093: Security Update Microsoft Virtual Machine
(Microsoft VM)
Click Add
Click Go to Download Basket
Specify the download location (e.g. Desktop)
Download and run the update
What error do you get, if any?
Post back what worked and what didn't and if the problem still persists
check your Windows Update log for errors:
%systemroot%\Windows Update.log
