If this is not the case then check in the Event Viewer to see if there is
any specific errors regarding services
Start/Run/Eventvwr.msc

<snip> In my case it was wups.dll in
C:\WINDOWS\system32\SoftwareDistribution\Setup\ServiceStartup\wups.dll\5.8.0.2469
folder. After removing this file, windowsupdate works great.

Hi,

If the things in TaurArian's post didn't apply or work, it is most likely a
COM+ issue.

First, verify that the "COM+ Event System" service is not disabled or not
functioning:

Press Start and Run, and then run this command:
services.msc

Locate the "COM+ Event System" entry, and double click on it. Startup type
should be set to "Manual", and if the service is not already running, press
the Start button to see if it starts successfully.

If the steps above where ok, see if the steps in this previous post fixes
the problem (applies to WinXP as well):
