Tried SpyBot - nothing, checked the router - nothing, tried the list of net
stop wuauserv and regsvr32 dll's and yes you guessed it - nothing ... ?
tried Update for Windows XP (KB894391) and its gonna reboot me now...

I recently found this procedure to work for a similar intractable problem.

On the Start/Run line enter: net stop wuauserv

Open Explorer and Delete these folders:
\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\SelfUpdate
\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\WebSetup
\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\WuRedir
\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\AuthCabs
\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore
\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\Download

On the Start/Run line enter: net start wuauserv

Restart the computer, being sure you log in with an account that has
full Administrator privileges. Then open one instance of IE and give
the Windows Update site another try.
