Windows Update Not Installing

When trying to update a Windows XP box from the Windows Update site(V5), the
"Checking for the latest version of the Windows Update software" page just
hangs. Confirmation on and install is presented. Any suggestions on how to
resolve this?

Hi

Please try this:

Click Start >> Run >>

Type the follow command in the Open box.
"net.exe stop wuauserv" (w/o quotes)
Press Ok

Repeat the same for the following commands:

regsvr32.exe wuapi.dll
regsvr32.exe wups.dll
regsvr32.exe wuaueng.dll
regsvr32.exe wucltui.dll
regsvr32.exe MSXML3.dll
net.exe start wuauserv

Now try the WU site again.
