Are you still using WUv4?

<title>You cannot install some updates or programs</title>
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;822798

(MSKB Boolean search for:
    signature AND "windows update"
)

If so you should make sure that you have installed

<title>KB842773 - Update package that includes Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) version 2.0 and WinHTTP 5.1 is
available for Windows XP</title>

and then switch to WUv5. You need WUv5 to use XPsp2.

Or, if you prefer, order the XPsp2 CD and install it offline.
