Auto upadates service will not start

I've got a windows xp sp2 computer I am trying to update using windows
update. When I go out to windows update after the inital screen I get
0x8ddd0004 error.
I tried re-registering the dll's. When I try to re-reg wuaueng.dll, REGSVR32
C:\WINDOWS\system32\wuaueng.dll , I get an error saying it cannot find it. I
checked and it is in that directory.
I've cleaned out the temp internet files. Checked the firewall and turned it
off to get that out of the way. I've check the security setting. Clear the
cache. I have gone through just about everything. Not sure what to try next.

In the event viewer I get a event id 7022 automatic updates services hung.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
