my xp laptop is 4 months old. for the last 3 months i have received no
updates.
wen i go to the update page, it says 'auto update is turned on'.
then it offers me the new 'microsoft update' service. when i start to load
that ir says i no longer have necessary software. then it loads that
software, but then goes right back to 'start now' for MS update.
this loop happens over and over, never ever getting to any real update!!
what has gone wrong here? thanks.
 
I had the same problem... see "Error message for Updates" dated 5/3/2006
below from Thota Umesh. The groups.Google solution reprinted here worked for
me:

Some have reported that simply re-registering the MSXML3.DLL seems to fix the
problem.
1. Click Start.
2. Choose Run.
3. In the Run box, type: regsvr32 MSXML3.DLL
Press okay
