Windows Update downloads update again and again

Hi,

I'm using Win XP Pro SP1. I've set the Automatic updates to 'Notify me but
don't automatically download them or install them', it keeps asking me to
download the same updates available eventhough i've clicked the download
button many times and it NEVER ask me to install.

I've also tried manual install and it keeps asking me to download and
install the Genuine Validation Tool over and over again. It says successful
everytime. When i press Express or Custom button, it goes back and ask me to
install the tool again.

It seems like i can never update the Windows. What to do? Please help.
