No access to any updates

Due to system problems, I had to re-install windows XP on to my hard
driveover the top of the existing files. When I have visited windows update
site I just get the screen where windows says searching for updates you
computer needs, but nothing else. I know that things like movie maker are now
reset back to the origanal setting and definetaly need updating. my version
of XP is about 2 years old.

Can anyone please help?

Richard
