Windows/Microsoft Update Error

I have XP Home Edition and when I try to update Windows from the Start Menu
I get the following error message. I do the "Register or reinstall" and try
again. Still the same error message and it will not allow me up update. Any
suggestions on the problem and/or its' solution?


Files required to use Microsoft Update are no longer registered or
installed on your computer. To continue:


Register or reinstall the files for me now (Recommended)
Let me read about more steps that might be required to solve the problem
