Error Message in Windlows Update

I downloaded the latest version of Windows Updating Software. When I clicked
to install the software I changed my mind and I then clicked to cancel the
installation that had already started. Now every time I go to Windows
Update I get this message: "The website has encountered a problem and cannot
display the page you are trying to view." Before this happened Windows
Update worked fine on my computer. (I have Windows XP Home Edition)

1. First install the newly released 'standalone' version of Windows Update
Agent 3.0, v7.0.6000.374
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932494

2. Now (re)install this (updated) fix:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927891

NB: Windows Update/Automatic Updates started offering 927891 on 22 May-07.
If "Update for [Windows XP] (KB927891)" is listed in Add/Remove Programs
(make sure Show Updates box is checked), it's already installed. cf.
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sec...ry/927891.mspx

3. Reboot.

Thank you for your help. I installed the "stand alone" as you suggested and
I was able to download and install Windows Updates.
