Hi

Reset the security settings on the BITS and Windows Update services
and see if it helps:

http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=O4yhAYjdEHA.996%40TK2MSFTNGP12.phx.gbl

(the "sc sdset ..." part for the two services in the link above)

Then, after the above, do the following:

Click Start >> Run >>
Type the follow command in the Open box.
"net.exe stop wuauserv" (w/o quotes)
Press Ok

Repeat the same for the following commands:

regsvr32.exe wuapi.dll
regsvr32.exe wups.dll
regsvr32.exe wuaueng.dll
regsvr32.exe wucltui.dll
regsvr32.exe MSXML3.dll
regsvr32.exe qmgr.dll
regsvr32.exe qmgrprxy.dll
net.exe start wuauserv

Restart the machine and try again.
