I have looked everywhere and still have yet to find a solution to my windows
update problem. I am running windows xp pro sp2. I have reverted back to
internet explorer 6.0. Since probably sometime in June or July I have been
unable to get updates from Windows Update. Error Code:0x8007000B. This is
OEM version of windows xp pro sp2. I believe maybe a digital signature is
messed up or a windows update may have messed up, not sure? Please Help

COR_E_BADIMAGEFORMAT
The format of the DLL or executable being loaded is invalid

You may have some bad files

Clear out your temporary internet files etc including off line files and try again. Run
chkdsk and defrag if appropriate.

If that doesn't help -

Renaming the SoftwareDistribution folder

Click Start, Choose Run.
In the Run box, type services.msc.
Click OK.
Right-click the Automatic Updates service.
Click Stop.
Stopping the service will take a moment.

Rename the "SoftwareDistribution" folder:
a. Click Start, click Run, type %systemroot%, and then click OK.
b. Right-click the SoftwareDistribution folder, and then click Rename.
c. Type SoftwareDistribution.old, and then press ENTER to rename this folder.

Click Start. Choose Run.
In the Run box, type services.msc.
Click OK.
Right-click the Automatic Updates service.
Click Start.
Starting the service will take a moment.

The downside of this is you'll lose your history but that's not important.
