windows update post sp2

running xp pro w/sp2 (just installed). first problem is that security center
reports that automatic updating "is not yet configured", but when i go to
system-automatic update, it's enabled. second problem is when i go to
windows update site, i get message "Checking for the latest version of the
Windows Update software...", but nothing else. never a confirmation or
install option -- not even an "everything is up to date" message. it worked
fine prior to sp2... can anyone help?

When searching for available updates on the Windows Update site, you see the
0x8007043B error
This error may occur if the WUAUSERV and BITS services are not configured properly in
the registry.

or

Try registering the following:

Click Start, select Run and type (pressing enter after each one and wait for the
success message):

net.exe stop wuauserv
Press Ok

Repeat for the following:
regsvr32 wuapi.dll
regsvr32 wups.dll
regsvr32 wuaueng.dll
regsvr32 wucltui.dll
regsvr32 msxml3.dll
regsvr32 atl.dll

net.exe start wuauserv
