Update Error Code 0x8DDD0009

Hello,(Xp Home SP2)
For the last few days when trying to update new security updates I get this
error code 0x8DDD009. Updates wont install. I first noticed this when auto
updates started on wednesday and my PC locked up.
My Pc also locks up and freezes after reboot. I ve turned auto updates off,
this seems to stop the locking up.
Can anyone give any advise
Thanks
BTs

I should ad,
My copy of XP is legal. Having updates turned off my PC runs normal. When
enabled and trying to update I get error No 0x8DDD0009
My PC freezes randomly. Turn Updates off, PC doesnt freeze.I have done a
virus scan (Kaspersky) and spyware scans
All OK.
Help Needed
Thanks
BTs
