Are you still having problems? According to THIS link:

1. You cannot access Windows Update if you are not running a validly licensed Windows operating system.

2. You are using browsers other than Internet Explorer 4 or higher.

3. You have disabled ActiveX Controls.

If you are still experiencing problems after doing all of the above, a repair XP Reinstall may be your only option.
