Windows XPsp3 update failure

Automatic update fails with the error 0x800704DD. I tried to follow the
directions for editing the registry that are given in
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910341. However, the "SensLogn" subdirectory
in the directions to go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify\SensLogn does not exist. Is it safe to
create this subdirectory with all the 17 enteries indicated in 910341? Thx.
