I'm having the same problem and tried Freudi's informative solution.
Eventually I got this error msg.:
"KB931784 Setup Error
Setup cannot update your Windows XP files because the language
installed on your system is different from the update language."
My computer is a Medion MD 8808 Multimedia pc with a factory installed
XP SP2 Home Edition pre-configured for Danish.
Maybe the KB031784 update erroneously was let loose by Microsoft on a
larger group than it was meant for?
I have another pc with W2k installed; I'll try and see if it has similar
problems.
