Unable to download updates

[Malke]

same problem here
Windows update was running fine until I got SP3 installed
is there a bug on SP3?

PS My windows is a genuine one

Same problem as what?

In the meantime, try this:

From a command prompt, stop the Automatic Updates service, register
wups2.dll, restart the AU Service.

Start>Run>cmd [enter]
net stop wuauserv [enter]
regsvr32 %windir%\system32\wups2.dll [enter]
(close out of cmd)

Also see:

Updates are not installed successfully from Windows Update, from Microsoft
Update, or by using Automatic Updates after you perform a new Windows XP
installation or you repair a Windows XP installation (applies to Service
Packs also):

If you need more help, provide the missing details - including what you've
already tried. The best place to get help with Windows Update questions is
in its newsgroup, microsoft.public.windowsupdate.

Outlook Express is your newsreader in Windows XP. In Windows Vista it's
Windows Mail.
