Windows update - files that update demands is not on the computer

When I try to acces windows update I get this error: files that windows
update is demanding is no longer on the computer, u can do the following:
1 register or install the files again (recommneded)
2 opportunity to read on different steps to solve the problem

When I choose opportunity one it just loops to step one after downloading
and regerstering. How no idea what to do and why the problem occurs.
Have the problem on my laptop but not on my "normal" computer. Plz help

I have three Windows machines. Two of the three worked fine, but this one
(XP Home) is doing the same thing. i'm bummed.

Some have reported that simply re-registering the MSXML3.DLL seems to fix the
problem.
1. Click Start.
2. Choose Run.
3. In the Run box, type: regsvr32 MSXML3.DLL
Press okay

Thank you. That worked. Is there a cause-and-effect (affect?) that I should
be aware of?

Just put it down to a glitch in the system, hopefully you won't have the problem
again.

Hey and thx for the response...
The steps that is described below didnt help, this is what fixed it for me:
1) Controlpanel
2) Remove/add programs
3) Windows components
4) Run the program without marking anything

After these steps I didn't have the problem anymore, and it was these steps
that helped, I tried everything else
