Automatic Update Woes

I just reformatted my system and installed a fresh copy of Win XP Pro - SP2.
This is the same disc I've used all the time with no troubles. The very
first thing I do is install my window's updates and then my anti-virus
software. When I go to Window's Update to begin my updates it starts to
install their tool, gets to 100% registered and gives me the following
error:
[Error number: 0x8007041D]
The website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you
are trying to view. The options provided below might help you solve the
problem.
I'm like, "Wow, that's odd.. ok, let's reinstall from scratch again." So I
do another full format and reinstall to find the same issue. So I go look
at services.msc and see that the automatic update service is set to
automatica but won't start. I click on start and get the following error:
Could not start the Automatic Updates service on Local Computer.
Error 0x8024d007: 0x8024d007
Does anyone have any idea as to what is going on? I need to get my pc
updated.

Cordially,
