1. First install the newly released 'standalone' version of Windows Update Agent 3.0, v7.0.6000.374
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932494
2. Now (re)install this (updated) fix: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927891
NB: Windows Update/Automatic Updates started offering 927891 on 22 May-07. If "Update for [Windows XP] (KB927891)" is listed in Add/Remove Programs (make sure Show Updates box is checked), it's already installed. cf. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/advisory/927891.mspx

I felt my 2y old install of XP needed a fresh start so I did an in place
reinstallation from the XP CD. I chose the upgrade install in order to avoid
installing and configuring all the programs. I hope I don't have to resort
to reformatting the C: drive...
The first time I started the upgrade install from normal windows with
Kaspersky intenet security disabled. After the installation was complete,
windows update found 79 updates, but all the updates failed with error code
0x80070002. I followed the KB article about this code, renamed
SoftwareDistributions directory under windows after stopping update service.
I also renamed Catroot2 directory under system32 as suggested by some
earlier threads. But the fixes didn't work. I suspected Kaspersky AV was
interfering with some of the reinstallation so I removed it and started the
XP upgrade intall from safemode again.
The second install was completed OK. I needed to reinstall the ATI drivers
as before. I did the WGA validation because I got some prompts about WGA in
the first round of reinstallation. Windows update first installed windows
installer, then downloaded 79 updates but all of the updates failed with the
following error code (0x80004002) at the end of the log file (on the WU
website the failed updates are not showing with red X in update history):
