Windows update will not run

I last updated via Windows Update months ago. I do not update automatically.
Today I tried to update but I keep getting this message: "The website has
encountered a problem and canot display the page you are trying to view." Did
I turn something off? Can u please help me get Windows Update to run and tell
me the files I need to download? Thank you.

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

If no help -

You receive a "Windows Update has encountered an error and cannot display
