Sorry to add more ... but really by now it seems to have pervaded everything
because it seems like I have tried everything. Of all of the files to
re-register .. the one I am having the most trouble with is mshmtl.dll (I
think that is it). So upon searching I come up with the Internet Explorer
security update that just released in Feb 2009 and is called
"Microsoft Security Bulletin MS09-002 - Critical
Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer (961260)"
I would love to just at least install that update but there is no place for
me to find that particular download and of course when I go to Windows
automatic update ... the same old thing happens again.

I can barely say anymore what I am trying to do in order to have this fixed.
.. since SP3 downloaded via Automatic Updates into my well functioning WinXP
SP2 Intel Pent 4 computer in Oct of 08 ... I have not had Windows Update
work. Maximum amount of memory upgraded to 2 gigs installed .. my Verizon
broadband DSL increased ... every single step in the very thorough Castle
Cops How To Fix Windows Update internet file that was posted here a couple of
months ago ... uninstalling Internet Explorer 8 Beta and going back to IE 7
.... all the time continuing to pay for my MSN subscription which I have had
from the start and knew that MSN Mail was one of the best but ALSO since
October my MSN Explorer windows that MSN Mail ran in .. slowed down to frozen
all of the time ... So now I have switched in IE 7 that my default email
program is Windows Live Mail and was at least able to download the later
versions of those programs .. and at first they worked at normal speed but
now they too seem to be clogged with whatever is preventing my computer from
seeing I NEED to have Windows Update work!
Finally I am just starting to look at the Windows update log even though I
can not decipher what it says ... it actually indicates that perhaps
sometimes over the last 3 months there have been some updates installed but I
can't possibly see that. I go to Windows/Microsoft update via MSN Explorer ..
via Internet Explorer and I download the update agent over and over and over
again and always go back to the same window.
SP3 was not rolled back off of my computer .. it could not be uninstalled
and it has stayed and now I see that there is an IE 8 that works with XP SP3
... I wonder would that help me somehow get later registry versions of
mshmtl.dll that does not seem to be registering whenever I go thru that long
list of files that I am supposed to try to re-register.
Is COMAPI a service I can start in my services area? I have BITS started
and automatic updates started cryptographic service started and have sent in
data files but I truly can not continue to wait .. manually installing the
last 3 months of critical updates is what I would try but I look at them and
don't even know how far my Microsoft .NET program versions go and if this is
instrumental in me getting Windows update to work.
My Reporting Events. log and the Windows Update. log now are what I am
trying to decipher. Oh and I have configured Norton 360 to not scan the
folders under Software distribution and Security and then always check in
those directories to make sure that some new virus files have not downloaded.
Course I also have my Windows Firewall ON with ports configured and programs
configured ...
I really really need Windows Update to start working again.
