Windows Update won't work

[Guest]

I have Automatic Updates on, but I don't seem to be getting them. I just
installed SP2 without any problems, or so I thought. I manually tried to get
the Windows updates and this is what happens. I get the message saying:
Files required to use Microsoft Update are no longer registered or installed
on your computer. To continue: Register or reinstall the files for me now
(Recommended). I select that option. It goes through the process of
downloading and registering and yet nothing happens. What could be the
problem?

You might want to post your question to the experts in the Windows Update
Newsgroup.
