I had the same problem after an aborted attempt to install XP sp2 , after
much searching in forums etc. this is the solution that worked for me:

I clicked on START and the RUN put in each line seen below and clicked on
OK. (do each one line at a time)

REGSVR32 C:\WINDOWS\System32\wuapi.dll
REGSVR32 C:\WINDOWS\System32\wuaueng.dll
REGSVR32 C:\WINDOWS\System32\atl.dll
REGSVR32 C:\WINDOWS\System32\wucltui.dll
REGSVR32 C:\WINDOWS\System32\wups.dll

then reran the windows update within IE and all was fixed.

Good luck!

Jules
