Using automatic update

my computer came with millenium editoin and i upgraded to xp. It is not
possible to get into my automatic update option. The microsoft website checks
my computer and Is says I have Automatic update, But I am going to the
correct place in the control panel, and there is absolutely no tab for
automatic update. Please help! thanks

Automatic updates greyed out
Click Start, select run and type in: services.msc,
Now scroll down to the autoupdate service and double click it.
Start it and set the startup type to automatic, then reboot.

or

"The Windows Update Service is not available" and all of the check boxes and
drop-down menus are greyed out. Automatic Update Service is missing from the
services.msc list.
Can happen if the wuaueng.dll file is not registered.

Register the file wuaueng.dll:
Click Start, select Run
Type: regsvr32 wuaueng.dll
Press OK.
