Unable to update thru Microsoft site. Operating system: XP, Version 5.1.26,
SP2. Appears to have started in March 08, when I first installed Trend Micro
Internet Security Pro. Uninstalled the program and reinstalled it, same
problem. Any ideas?

0x80072EFD - That error indicates a failure to connect to the update servers
and is addressed in this KB. Are you on a home computer or behind a corporate
network/firewall?

0x80072EFD ERROR_INTERNET_CANNOT_CONNECT

You may encounter temporary connection-related errors when you use Windows
Update or Microsoft Update to install updates

What anti-virus application or security suite was installed prior to
installing TMIS in Mar-08? (Or was it Mar-09?)

Have you purchased TMIS? If you have, when does your current subscription
expire?

Yes, it was originally March of 2008 for TMIS. The prior anti-virus was
Panda. TMIS, as I said, is again unistalled, but new license doesn't expire
until 2010, so I could re-install if I could ever get the XP SP3 to download.
I did the advanced steps in kb/836941 and flushed the DNS, the did the net
stop/start on the wuauserv. It finally did the download, but part of the way
thru the install, it said "access denied" and unistalled itself

And had your Panda subscription expired before you installed TMIS? I
suspect it had.

In any event, if the machine hasn't been fully patched since Mar-08...

Backup your personal data, then do a format & clean install of Windows.
Please note that a Repair Install (AKA in-place upgrade) will NOT fix this!

After the clean install, you'll have the equivalent of a "new computer" so
take care of everything on the following page before otherwise connecting
the machine to the internet or a network and before using a USB key that
isn't brand-new or hasn't been freshly formatted:

If the clean install leaves you with WinXP (no Service Packs), here's how to
get it fully patched:

If the clean install leaves you with WinXP SP1 or SP2, here's how to get it
fully patched:
