Windows Update fails on fresh build after installing XP SP3 and IE7

The title pretty much says it all. This system is a fresh build of a Compaq
V2000 from the system disks. The first thing I did was run windows update a
few times, now windows update fails with two security updates for IE7 still
needing to be applied. Also 5 hardware updates are still waiting, and they
fail too, as well as root certificates updates.

They all fail without explanation, and in fact there is no entry made in the
windows update history that saying that they occured.

Does anyone have any idea of how I can get windows update to start working
again?

Thanks,
Mike

Did you check the Windowsupdate.log file?

Click Start, click Run, type %systemroot%\windowsupdate.log, and then click
OK.
Locate the name of the update by searching for the specific update in the
log file.

Are there any relevant error codes?

Copy and paste the lines which are relevant to the failed updates into this
posting or in the alternative, you may wish to undertake a search of the
Newsgroup for the specific codes.

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