If this is not the case then check in the Event Viewer to see if there is any

<snip> In my case it was wups.dll in
C:\WINDOWS\system32\SoftwareDistribution\Setup\Ser viceStartup\wups.dll\5.8.0.2469
folder. After removing this file, windowsupdate works great.

Hi,

If the things in TaurArian's post didn't apply or work, it is most likely a COM+
issue.

First, verify that the "COM+ Event System" service is not disabled or not
functioning:

Press Start and Run, and then run this command:
services.msc

Locate the "COM+ Event System" entry, and double click on it. Startup type
should be set to "Manual", and if the service is not already running, press the
Start button to see if it starts successfully.

If the steps above where ok, see if the steps in this previous post fixes the
problem (applies to WinXP as well):
