Your error exception is 0X8DDD0018. What it indicates is that Automatic Updates could be disabled, or Not started; or that
Background Intelligent Transfer Service could be disabled or Not started.
You must make sure these Win XP services are enabled and running:
Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS)
Cryptographic Services
Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
System Restore Service
Go to Start menu >Run > MSCONFIG <enter>
Click on the "Services" Tab & review these services. They should have a green "tick/check" mark on left; and status "Running" on the far right.
