Unable to download updates

Following a re-install of XP Home Edition, updates will not install. No error
codes, just says your computer is preventing updates from being
downloaded/installed.

As posted 10-12 times a day in this newsgroup:

Updates are not installed successfully from Windows Update, from Microsoft
Update, or by using Automatic Updates after you repair a Windows XP
installation:

NB: Also applies to clean installs, upgrade installs, and Recovery installs.
