Auto Update Appears, Does Nothing

I have 2005 Sony Vaio / XP Home Edition / 80 GB Hard Disk / 1 GB RAM.
For the last few days, every time I power up my computer, the yellow shield
appears in lower right of taskbar. I rest cursor on it, which says 0%
Downloaded. I can't open it at all, as I usually can with updates, for more
info. After a few minutes, icon disappears. Any idea what's going on?

I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. WHAT DO I DO???
I HAVE XP Home Edition. COMPAQ

Updates are not downloaded or the "Automatic Updates" icon does not display the
status of downloads when you enable the Automatic Updates service
