Auto Update day/time setting

I run XP Home and am trying to set a custom day and time for my update. When
I set the day and time I want and hit OK, then go back to check, my settings
are gone. I have tried the troubleshooting fixes but without success. Can
someone tell me in simple terms how to set the day and time properly so they
work? Thank you in advance for your help.

Which applications are running in the background?
Is any of those blocking assumed unwanted changes to the registry?

One or more options/settings in an ever-growing number of third-party
applications may be disallowing the change(s) from "sticking". These include
but are not limited to Ad-aware's Ad-Watch, Spybot Tea Timer,
SpywareBlaster, SpySweeper, Spyware Doctor, CounterSpy, AVG Anti-Spyware,
Norton AntiVirus, McAfee VirusScan and/or Antispyware, NOD32, and Zone Alarm
(Free, Pro, & Security Suite).
