Can not manually update windows

Hello;

I never used to have a problem with windos update. Then about a week ago I
noticed that I was not receiving automatic updates on this computer while my
laptop was. Both are running windows xp pro service pack 2. So I decided to
try to manually check for updates, which I used to be able to do. I
encounter this message and error number. Has anyone else had this problem.
Does anyone have a solution?
