XP February Updates not available

Running XP with all updates before the latest february hotfixes. My other XP
computer updated fine, other one can't see anything to be updated. Both are
legal copies, there has been no virus infection or spyware, no change in
firewall configuration. No errors given to browser when accessing the update
site, nor in event log or anywhere else. Automatic updates is enabled but
doesn't download anything.

Any ideas? Any way to remove the windows update component from IE and let it
reinstall aside from deleting the files?

The same here (XP SP2, all patches applied till Feb 8, AU on). Even MBSA
says that there is nothing to be updated although all of the Feb critical
updates are missing.
All WU dlls are ver. 5.4.3790.2182 except cdm.dll - 5.5.3790.2182. Maybe
these lines of WindowsUpdate.log will disclose the source of the problem:

Same problem... However I resolved it by:

Clearing cookies, cache (including offline content) files and history from
Internet Explorer.

Stopped the Automatic Update service.
Renamed C:\windows\SoftwareDistribution directory to SoftwareDistribution_OLD
Started the Automatic Update service. Service will rebuild the
c:\windows\SoftwareDistribution directory and files.

Ran WindowsUpdate again, and now it found my 12 missing updates. Why the
\SoftwareDistribution datastore has been corrupted in the first place, God
only knows...

Hope it helps you

Cheers,
Joern
