All updates = 0kb size, unable to update, WindowsUpdate.log includ

Hi,

Big problems here. Cannot update my system and it's getting further out of
date. All the updates show a filesize of 0kb.

I am running Win XP Pro with SP2. I'm using the MS web site for upgrading -
the update icon in the system tray does not work either.

I currently have 11 updates which show 0kb. To try and simplify the
problem, I (i) deselected all updates except Windows Malicious Software
Removal Tool - February 2005 (KB890830), (ii) noted the time, (iii) attempted
to update, (iv) copied the contents of the WindowsUpdate.log which occurred
after the unsuccessful update. The contents of the log file are here:

Any and all help will be grovelingly appreciated.

I am looking at a HD format and reinstall if I can't get this fixed.

> WinHttpAddRequestHeaders failed 0x80070006.

The error code means Handle not valid which suggests to me that
something is broken. I suggest you try some of the regsvr32 commands
to re-register key modules for the process. Most likely winhttp.dll
or its WU callers (which I do not know--try wuaueng.dll at least.)

However, see the fine list recently provided by Pat Walters [MSFT]

Good luck
