After installing Windows XP Service Pack 3, Windows Update won't work.

Windows XP Service Pack 3 installs a new version of Windows Update, but it forgets to register it.

try the following:

Log on as an administrator, and run cmd.exe, and issue the following commands: 
  • net stop wuauserv
  • cd \windows\system32
  • regsvr32 wups2.dll
  • net start wuauserv


and try again.
