Windows XP Update - FAILS

I go the Microsoft website to do updates,
if I click either "Express Install" or "Custom Install" I
get an error [Error number: 0x80244001] Windows Update
has encountered an error and cannot display the requested
page.

I found one place that talked about this error but the
fix has to do with using a proxy server, I don't. I am on
a lan with my cable internet service provider.

What can I do?

When searching for available updates on the Windows Update site, you see the
0x80244001 error
http://v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.co....aspx?ln=en-us

This error may occur if the MSXML3.dll is missing or not properly registered.

Register MSXML3.dll
Click Start.
Choose Run.
In the Run box, type regsvr32 MSXML3.dll.
Click OK.
